I understand that this makes me a selfish dick, but (about) 30 months ago I started to see several fundimental flaws in the ecconomy and I moved my entire portfolio into the safest investments I could find and as a result I am amazingly pleased that the market fell this far.

One thing I have noticed over that timeframe is financial and real estate analysts are just like videogame analysts in that they seem to be the last people aware that the market has changed.

I guess its not bad for me either.  I dont have any money to invest, so a 15000 Dow and a 5000 Dow dont affect me directly, as long as I can get student loans and inflation isn't too bad for the next years.  I dont truly have to be afraid for about two years when I graduate, and hopefully there will be jobs to be had at that time.  If there are and the market is still down, investors stand to make a lot of money.
