So what are the main lessons from that crash?

Because it certainly isn't hold on, it'll be a difficult but short way down, and then the recovery is just on the horizon.

What do you take away from a crash that led to a decade-long depression?

We touched on this a little bit already, but one of the interesting things in a bear market is that you can often have some of the best single days of market returns in the middle of what is a longer term downturn.

There's still a lot of volatility on both up and down directions.

So can you talk a little bit just about how volatility changes during bear markets?

I think a lot of people intuitively think that the stock market and the economy are intrinsically linked.

And of course, they are in some ways.

But can you talk a little bit about how investors really need to understand the relationship between the stock market and the economy itself?

A lot of skeptics of investing will compare the stock market to a casino.

Can you tell us why you think that's a bad analogy?

How bad are Japan's long-term returns?

Because you touched on it earlier, you said if you extend the period out kind of before and after the bubble burst, maybe they normalize over some stretch of time?

Speaking of one country dominating or lagging over one period, the US experienced its most difficult decade, at least in our remembrances, from the dot-com crash until about 2009, 2010.

How common is it for there to be a true lost decade in the US market?

The lesson I always like to bring up to people was I was sort of similar.

When I started, my blog was 2010.

So that was right at the end of that so-called lost decade.

And we had the opposite because that decade was actually pretty good for Canadian stocks, much, much better than the U.S.

And I got the same questions from readers except the opposite, which was, why would I invest in anything other than Canadian stocks?
