Frank, this crisis is going to hit the entire planet if it hasn't already. Their will be changes, big changes, and if you think that financial system will just keep chugging along as usual, Im afraid your in for a rude surprise.

I hope they don't. I am hoping to see some maturity and sanity prevail in the form of regulation of international trade and economics.

Lassez faire economics and the subsequent exploitation of people, materials and the environment has cost all of us dearly. We need ethical business practice.

If your going to start investing in stocks now, i suggest Campbell's Soup stock (specifically beef or chicken).

And confectionery, as apparently during hard times that is the one commodity for which sales are constant; 'mood food'.

As things are crashing really low, soon will be the time to invest in those stocks with high book values but much lower purchase prices. They have assets and will bounce back.

It might be well to remember that it took the stock market 25 years to recover from the last great depression (i.e. before it reached the same dollar value it had in 29). We may not have one, it may not last that long, but no one really knows. The recent Japanese crash (which has some interesting parallels to what the USA is going through now) lasted 10 years (at least).


Recently GM had a lot of assets. Yet It may be delisted from the Dow before the years end as things are going now. But hey, I'm a dystopian and even stopped clocks are right twice a day. At least this time my pessimism has been of some personal benefit LOL.
