Please, spare me.
It's the Nature of Capitalism to boom and bust. Even though Glass-Stegal was wonderfully helpful (until voted out so we could enjoy our recent economic collapse) we are faced with having millions of jobs shipped over seas by Godfull Red Blooded American Capitalists to Godless Communist China that are gone forever. The stock market is completely gamed by computers making split second massive buy/sell orders (it is gambling anyways) for the high stakes crowd.
There are no surprises here. We are screwed - buy our betters (bettors).
Read up on, Richard Wolff, an economics professor.
There is no prophecy self-fulfilling or otherwise; let's no blame the victims (us.).
Cheers.
