I laugh because people treated the market as a slush fund and thought it was a money tree. Seems to me the forgot to factor in risk. I enjoy epiphonic moments. Such as "there is no free lunch". I love the fact that people actually have something to be pi$$ed about. I watch my kids build enourmous structures with what ever they have on hand. I love seeing the pride they have looking at what they acomplished. I also enjoy it when it colapses. They show their true grit by how they respond. They don't get upset and blame gravity, they rethink ,make a better plan and try again. I am truly convinced that this drop in the market is going to benifit the thinkers and those that want better. I have felt that the market ran away from us, and became overvalued. This is a time to invest in US brick and mortar companies manufacturing what the market wants i.e. wind turbines, green chemical plants.

Once upon a time in a village, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.
The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act as buyer, on his behalf.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: 'Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when he returns from the city, you can sell them back to him for $50.'
The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere!
