The media and many people have no sense of perspective. Not many people remember how bad things can actually get. We are no where near that. It is human nature to exaggerate both side of the spectrum the bad and the good times, The markets are controlled by human emotions fear, gloom and doom, sometimes in dramatic fashion. Computers don't control the stock market, peoples emotions do. Ok we are in a recession ..we have been before and came out again.

Roy you have more than just a bad hair day...maybe you should go for a walk and enjoy the beauty in Victoria (I assume that is where you from) but your crystal ball away and listen to ur common sense.

…or as Al Goldman said “Don't allow the current economic news to depress you. Instead, join the good fight that the stock market is putting on.”
