Robert Shiller worries that the oil price decline while amazing is not likely to last for very long. As he says, "oil pricing is not a random walk," meaning that the marginal cost of supply will eventually rule.

He is worried about stock market valuations but thinks that there aren't many other alternatives.

He also notes that housing stock hasn't increased since 2008, which is a phenomenon that hasn't been seen since the '30s.
