The Best Of All Possible Worlds.
So, the market is now down over 700 points with 90 minutes still to go until closing bell. Can't W send in some federal marshals to close it down early? The principle of government intervention in the market is already well established, what with the big $700 billion bailout. Let's go all the way!
Things are not looking good at all. Too late really to do anything but ride it out. But the panic is rising within me. What I'd really like to do is convert all my liquid assets to gold coins and put them in my gun safe at home. Add a vegetable garden to the backyard, some chickens, maybe a goat, start a home brewery to dull the misery, and hunker down until the next world war ends the upcoming great depression about 5-10 years from now! In this the best of all possible worlds, it's time to tend our gardens.
