If you have been around the site at all, it will become very clear that God is always the site's and my priority. David,

Then what followed was a long 18-year depression. Look at the Nikkei 225 index. What happened in Japan in 1990 is exactly the same as what is happening in America right now! If you have FAITH that the stock market always goes up, ask yourself whether the Biblical quote "you cannot worship both God and Money" applies to you.

you are right – when challenging times hit, there really seem to be some good opportunities that open up…

I hope that with the next boom (and there will be one) that people remember the pain of this recession. Will they? Doubtful. But maybe. My dad recalls a similar time about 30 years ago when the economy was in the pits. For one reason or another, banks were offering really high interest rates on CDs (like, higher than 10%) so they could get cash. Because my dad had cash at the time, he was able to really grow his money. I'd LOVE to see savings and CD rates take a big jump soon. Dunno if it'll happen, but I'll be ready!
