I'm inclined to blame Guns N' Roses.  A friend of mine pointed this out:

First record: 1987.  Biggest one-day crash ever.  S&L Scandal.  Second and Third records: '91.  Recession.  First single with new band released: End of '99.  NASDAQ peaks at 5k shortly thereafter, and then drops about 4k of that.

2008: Chinese Democracy.  Worst crash and recession since the Great Depression.

Where's my Nobel Prize?
