You need a new theory.

As economist Dean Baker pointed out, anyone with that occupation who missed the largest asset bubble in world history should look for another line of work — can’t argue with that.

Nothing to do with any theory, though.

Again, how could you possibly miss it?

Exciting times for quants.

If the track were wet, you would miss it.
