when people start getting bent out of shape and hollering doom and gloom...it's always a good idea to step out and look at the long term chart for perspective. We might be in for a down draft...maybe even it turns to an all out route but some perspective even then beats the teeth gnashing you hear from many. From the chart, we see, amongst all the doom and gloom 09 was nothing more than a damned good buying opportunity. :-))
