And Now for a Moment of Zen…
October 10th, 2008 Posted in alert!, fyi, health, the good, the bad, and the otherwise, what's going on??
During the course of the Great Depression, the market fell from 380 points to 41 points in just under two and a half years. Year-to-date the market has fallen from a high of just over 14,000 to today’s close of 8,500.
Look at the most recent snapshot of the market (above), pay close attention to the right side of the chart, especially the month of October (in the last week it has fallen from 11.4k to 8.5k!). Yes, this is a superficial look at a complex issue but it is still something to marvel at. This is one for the history books!

That is crazy. If you have extra cash and are brave(or crazy) I would think it would be a good time to invest.
