it took China about 5 weeks to get a hold of their issues once it was well known. We are in about week 2 here and don’t have the powers of the Chinese government. Not even near the peak. It’s going to get worse.
Yep. Most Americans have a very myopic viewpoint, which as you said is extremely obvious by many of the posters on this thread.
I consider myself a pretty optimistic guy, I have and will not adjust my 401k contributions in response to the current markets, and my post history reflects my optimism.
But I'm also a realist, and it's pretty silly to bury our heads in the sand right now.
