The crash and bear markethas no impact on folks who arent retiring for another ten plus years and who have no intention of selling their shares or funds in he next five years. I'm sitting back , pouring another drink and watching events and history unfold. Kind of exciting dont you think? Unless world war three happens, I predict in five years you will be twenty percent up from your losses today. Hold on tight and try not to worry too much. I am long on my shares/funds.

As it is, the rescue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may requires printing more money and further deflate the dollar.

The portfolio of many retail investers have indeed become illiquid. This will likely continue till middle of next year and might start recovering post july 2009. Till then let's keep our fingers crossed till then. Basically we have lost a lot of cash over the past few months. The portfolio of many retail investers have indeed become illiquid.

Look at the energy prices driving by specs. Look at the morgate mass evreything need to be regulated in terms of public interest, so I think these painful events will bring strong goverment regulation over corporations.

According to what causes the decline (housemarket and credit/financial), you're right too. The bottom line should be 750 even 500 for the SP. Not tomorrow, but by 2 to 3 years. Then, the cleaning process will have done its job. According to the graphic, you’re right AndyS. According to what causes the decline (housemarket and credit/financial), you’re right too.
