This is one of the best articles I've read in a while. Mr. Giustra is one of Canada's top business people and he doesn't need to write attention grabbing articles like this. His conclusions are in-line with the Great Bust Ahead, and he doesn't even draw on demographics to make his argument - just dumb human behaviour which repeats itself every few hundred years. This article just confirms what we are expection - a long term bear market is here.

Just get used to it. (click title above to access article)
