As an adult, Halloween tends not to be that scary for me--usually.

But after last week’s stock market rally in the face of the deteriorating situation in Europe and the rest of the world, I am afraid…for the stock market and am reminded of fall/winter 1999.

The 4^th quarter of 1999 was an absolutely fascinating and terrifying time as my naïve beliefs about market rationality and efficiency were proven patently false.
