The way the news re: financial markets is being reported is enough to cause panic. -Even NPR sounds a bit sensational. It would be nice if some one would speak up and point out that nothing has happened that is not correctable over time. Reacting emotionally and making fear based financial decisions won't prevent or protect anyone from a crash, but can, in fact, precipitate a crash.

I'm about as foggy about economics as a body gets. But I do know that worry never improves anything.
