Whee! For some reason, I haven't been able to help but be amused by the stock markets. But it's beginning to feel more and more like laughing to keep from crying. A couple days ago, I was wondering: "Has a drop like this happened in my life, and I just wasn't paying as much attention?" and I looked back to 2002 and the answer was "kind of". Now it looks like the answer is closer to "not so much". Hmm.
