Basically you don't sell stock when it takes a dive.. .you buy a ton of it...

The additional $20K you bought when it was low is worth $45K in that ten years.. you get the idea.. I hope.
I hope your right... I havent sold the stock yet but it hurts to see $100k evaporate in a matter of weeks.

I do think though that this time is different. This isnt just a fear of a slowing economy or a terrorist attack. This exposes a fundamental instability/flaw in the system. Its a system that can do longer be trusted.
