In order for there to be a "booming" economy there needs to be an unproductive economy. There has to be a balance in everything, and the stock market is no exception. Some times we do not make sense. When things are great we hold fast, when things are poor we want to sell. The stock market was never meant to perform like that, but just the opposite.
What I really want to touch on is the idea of sink or swim. Hopefully we have learned that financials will never be predictable nor always giving, because they are driven by human beings. The trick is to settle with the nonproductive as well as the non-devastating. Times can be just as challenging when life is simply idle. What I hope that we do during these times of neither sinking nor swimming, is think and prepare. Lets take this unproductive time as a gift of preparation.
