I want to see how the markets play out the rest of the week. If it keeps taking hits despite that $900-billion band-aid, I'm going to start to question the differences of influence between "natural" bear long cycles and neoliberalism. 
This current cycle is supposed to be coming to an end soon. (It started at around 2000.) But if things go to shit at the end of it like this, then perhaps what we're seeing now is less about cycles and more about politics.
