...glorious run from 1984 to 1999, not once did U.S. stocks place first among 11 major markets, including France, Germany, Singapore, the Netherlands, Britain, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Switzerland and Canada.

My favorite criticism comes from the stock jocks on CNBC--the very same folks who made stars of bulls like Blodget and Meeker by putting them on the air day after day while the bubble was still bloating. These watchdogs now insist that analysts answer for their miscalls...
