Can non-random events cause random effects?

 

Why did US financial markets not recover from the highs of 1906 until 1915

from the highs of 1929 until 1954

or the highs of 1973 until 1982?

 

Does observation alter the observed?

 I must not fear

 

 Fear is the mind-killer

 

 I will face my fear, I will permit it to pass over me and through me

 and when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path

 

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing

 

Only I will remain
