Yes, based on the Msia historical data, we had a run-up in the early 90's until peak in 1997, similarly, we had a similar run-up and peak in 2008. However, in the 80's we didnt have a nice run-up, instead it was choppy throughout the decade, but it did have a crash in 1987.

Since launch of QE1, many "new normals" created, old cycles & theories may have to be re-written, so much so that Jim Rogers & Marc Faber are calling Bernanke an idiot ! Now we have the never heard of before "fiscal cliff" to be resolved next month....yet many countries continue to print endless $....build up endless debts....one day someone will write a song call " E Ko No Money (Economy) in cantonese ! That will be the end of the world !

what goes up must come down.. in a market driven by fear and greed.. emotions.. emotions are so easy to see. just look at the way people respond to statements they dont want to hear from others..the fact is many people are attached to their stocks and then they realize that they should have sold but dont and sell in the end.. that is what makes the market undershoot..

emotions is right, but we should say something about fear peddlars too right? :)
