"Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau."* Everybody is familiar with this quote from Irving Fisher, which appeared on the front cover of the New York Times on October 16th, 1929. This will live on forever because just eight trading sessions later, the Dow crashed 13.47%. The following day it fell another 11.73%. That permanently high plateau would not be seen again until the winter of 1954.
