We are still seeing effects from the housing bubble and we will probably see them for a while to come.  Too many loans to people that had no business getting loans have us in this mess. 

Thankfully I am in a business where if it slows down at home, the overseas orders pickup.

No cause for panic. AKA a market correction. The market will continue to correct itself, to make up for about two decades of stupidity, AKA over building, sub prime mortgage loans, unsustainable growth, etc.

It's only a loss if you sell.  I'm buying everything I can get my hands on so this is a boom for me.  :rock

For those of you sleeping at the wheel, this is the time to buy buy buy.  If you don't, I'll be rubbing it in 11 years from now when I retire and turn all my stocks into annuities.  :rock
