Every news channel was blathering on about the great recession of 08. The market was tanking and the talking heads were gleeful (with a serious look on their faces, of course).
Even our own hand-wringers were emphatic that the world was ending. Since then, the market has soared over 500 points. Not a word. Silence. Nada.
A lot of people made a lot of money these last couple of days. I only made a little...but it was more than the welfare checks being sent out to revive the economy (I'm not getting one, of course....I paid too much in taxes).
So, I guess the sky will stay in place for now. But never fear...the world will still come to an end. Probably about once a month for the forseeable future!
