I don't see this as a very convincing bear case.<p>For the bull case, see this post, from a guy who's been right about everything since the mid-2000s.<p><a href="http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2014/06/the-future-is-still-bright.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2014/06/the-future-is-stil...</a>
