Wake up yourself.
Actually, it was Alan Greenspan's stupid ass who kept long term interest rates on ARMs incredibly low, causing a bubble. That's basically it. And stocks have been overvalued for about a decade because American people as a whole are both stupid and greedy so they keep buying up. Don't blame it on the brokers.
