Not. But you knew that was coming. The stock market, the housing market, the job market all suggest a boom similar to the late 90s. The difference this time is the rest of the global economy, the diminished demand for buying rather than renting, and the nature of jobs that are more likely to be part-time, short term, and lacking benefits. The late 90s were driven by the Internet. Without a similar catalyst; e.g. graphene or cheap solar, the momentum probably isn’t sustainable. But then again, predicting economies is rarely successful.
