One thing that has stayed the same, though, is the cyclical nature of the business. Fluctuating between soaring, exuberant bull markets and bone-crushing, anguishing bears, cycles are the Street's overlay, governing all. And it's almost certainly true that neither technological breakthrough nor regulatory oversight will ever mitigate them."
