–in my haste, I forgot my original intent… I was/am a “bring it on” advocate. Not because I wish for pain, but because I wanted to invest in stocks and a home, but in a more sane environment. Personally, I want the band-aid ripped off already. With close family on wall street, I don’t feel happy about the blood in the street, but I do think we might be on our way to a more rational investing and home buying environment–unless the fed comes and prolongs the agony. Why pay for your mistakes, when you can get your grandchildren to pay for them–f’in bastards.
