Yes, this would be an 'interesting time' to not want to be living in...
I think you should see the stock market issue as pretty minor. After all, why bother with the stock market, in which stocks may go up a few percent a day, to a few percent per year, when you can just get the lotto numbers nor next week... or a few horse races - which pay significantly more, much faster.
Ultimately what that would mean would probably be a collapse of the money system (or at least gambling, and anything to do with speculation). And, since the markets are based on supply and demand (with uncertainty thrown in), that would be changed, because demand would always be known and accounted for. Thus, no surplus nor excess - meaning, there shouldn't be any such thing as inflation (or deflation) - everything should remain fairly constant (until there is actually a problem with a limited supply of something that can't be manufactured).
Which would have the awesome effect of stopping most wars in the world, because most are based on lies (and fear - and RV would do away with most fears).
Yes, having large portions of the population accessing their own RV skills (or knowing those that do) would indeed revolutionise this planet!
(Oh, I need to add - the advances in technology and life style for everyone... no more companies withholding technology, given than 'public interest' overrides (or would override when the people see how it's been manipulated to the benefit of those big corporations)
(ooops - and again! The HUGE reduction in crime! Which would coincide with the redistribution of wealth (and the crash of the stock markets and speculative trading, etc))
