Young folks today aren't usually taught skills involving money other than how to waste it. That's so sad. Here we live in the age of Capitalism and people aren't taught in detail what money really is and why it's so powerful. Why is that so? There is a sad truth in modern life.

Gone are the days where the CEO has been there for a long time (I think most contract now are like 3 years - how can you honestly run a company for a long run when your contract is only 3 years??).

Those who have cash are king these days.

I agree with the comment that this is a short term correction that is required once every so many years for the markets to resolve themselves. However, the only worrying factor that scares me is that the fundamentals of the markets that you refer to are not as strong as they need to be. See the whole boom has been running on borrowed money, which you may also term as fundamentals, but now the credit has started drying up, what does one do? The worst thing is that throwing more borrowed money (government bail out packages) will not necessarily resolve the problem, since its been credit that has the problem in the first place... Welcome your thoughts on this. Some institutions should have been allowed to collapse to flush out the toxicity from the markets instead of giving them more borrowed money.

I always feel that most investors act in the short term perspective, and not the long run. As you wrote, the sky doesn’t fall and a logical approach is to act when the market is down. the Doomsayers regulaty come up when the market is down. And of course the market is going better after some time. Hi James, good article.
