things are either frightening or exhilarating? the way things are now and watching that i'd say the first option!

I don't think I'd be too worried. Yes things will change, but thats like with anything. I used to have less hair in certain places and more in others too, but I'm not gonna cry. I just sweep my rapidly fading youth off my pillow each morning and get on with it, dieing a little inside each time.

Whenever there is a large exogenous shock or market correction there is always plenty of pundits swearing black and blue that everything will be fine and we need not worry. There is always just as many financial doomsday prophets too. The actual truth always lies somewhere in the middle.

Personally Im enjoying the depression. Some things, thrive in depressions. Its not doom and gloom for everyone. Some people are luck enough to see a problem and not, so much take advantage of it, but see the positive spin on it. I don't think its all bad

Looks like the depression has had a major affect on word coutn in posts round here - that could be seen by some as a positive spin off.
