It definitely wasn't when I wrote this, but things are going to be interesting with this Bear Stearns news. The market is starting to look pretty bad now.

Fed drops the rate to 3.25%... ...So what was it you doubters were saying again? The worst is even here yet... As of 3/16/2008 Bear Stern’s for $2/share by JPM… Fed drops the rate to 3.25%…

I'm generally sour on the economy. I can't believe the consumer is holding up facing high energy cost and high housing cost. But that being said, yeah, I think the media is overblowing it a little bit. The market is positive for the year, yet somehow this is a "bear" market. Hate to see what happens if the market goes negative by 10%. I think people would start jumping off buildings. Thanks for the comments guys.

Not that I am blind to the problems, the decline in the value of the dollar, the housing market and energy prices. But they fail to really consider the benefits of some of the problems we're having. For example, because gas prices are so high, I and millions of other american's will look for alternative transportation and ways to lower energy costs. This need to find alternative energy sources could end up driving new products and even markets. My mom, for example has replaced all of the light bulbs in her house with energy efficient bulbs. See, she didn't stop spending, she's just spending differently.

I am also *very* sick of hearing about this "worst thing since the Great Depression" that we are supposedly heading into. My retirement accounts still look pretty good!
