You gotta have fun with this market.

If nothing else, if someone can scrounge up a few chickens, we'll have a decent breakfast.

I'm actually grateful that I do'nt have assets. Don't even own the home I live in. I can spectate and not worry about what I have depreciating, devaluaing, and disappearing.

Plus, I can hope/wonder if in a few years something like a three bedroom home or some stocks in a decent company might be in my price range again...

But still, I am concerned about what will happen to others, and my country. The last great economic upheaval brought about the widespread acceptance of socialism in the U.S. Just because I found my grandparents stories about the '30's interesting, does'nt mean that I want to experience them first hand.
