Downton Abbey is a Masterpiece Theatre show on PBS which has taken US television viewers by storm. It is the story of an aristocratic family in England which perpetuates a dynasty in a small town through the operation of a huge estate. Devotion to this estate and huge family home are accomplished by employing a small army of servants, who maintain the home and the aristocrats. We believe there are strong parallels between what goes on at Downton and what has been going on in the US stock market since 2009. We also see this as a recurring theme for the next 5 to 7 years.
