an insightful post, reassuring investors about returns by appealing to the concept of eternal return - I'm amazed by your curious learning, my friend, relating even the vagaries of financial cycles to fractals in nature and explaining everything in simple terms.
Perhaps T.S. Eliot was right: “The historical sense involves a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence”
This too will pass and as you so wisely said, there are other things in life besides the markets.
Such a thoughtful and balanced outlook
Thank you so much:)
