Not an oversimplification at all. I agree with all that you've said - the market is a mechanism, and will always gravitate to the norm.
Don't get me wrong; the fast buck will always be there but will require more work to find.
Exactly! I had a song going through my head while walking, with a slight alteration:
bye, bye miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry
and good 'ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye,
the day ...momentum died...
This is the main reason I'm finally willing to position some $ in a long term port, something I've been unwilling to do for nearly two years. I'll continue to look for those "donna stocks." :)
