Can you imagine the panic and chaos when this financial market does what all financial markets eventually do, and reverts to the mean...

Much though I'm waiting for the house price crash, I must say that I cringe when I hear people talk about mean reversion. It's a misquoted load of nonsense invented by the investment finance industry to try to make themselves sound clever to encourage lots of inherited wealth 'Tim nice but dims' to let them look after their money, encouraged along because Tim nice but dim was best buddies with Ginger whilst pretending to be soldiers at Sandhurst.
There is simply no such thing as reversion to the mean.
