The main point is the divergence since 1987. Before that there was a pretty good correlation.
Yeah but my point is it only looks like a correlation and a divergence because the y-axis is in log. The chart is manipulated to make it look so instead of actually being so.
True, if it wasn't then there probably wouldn't be much co-relation, it'd be a hell of a lot more scary though :/
Yes, that's my point. There is no correlation. The author manufactured one that doesn't exist to make his point.
