I agree with this. The market should have been at most 10,000.

Now certain companies have lost costumers and revenue, but some are still good and doing business like normal.

I think this should have happened 4-5 years ago, but the Fed kept lowering rates (which was a way of cheating instead of fixing the underlying problem). A certain political party with donors that didn't want to pay taxes were probably pushing for a policy that devalued the dollar (takes more dollars to buy anything, including stocks/houses), and were letting the market do pretty much whatever it wanted to.

I will say, that for me, I am better off, since I get to buy more stock at a lower price then if I had to pay the inflated price. Even if the market doesn't go back up quickly, I still have a long time before I need that money. I didn't lose too much however.
