Don't panic... not yet. Brace ourselves... okay but don't panic needlessly. Brace with caution but walk it with care.

Every so many months, we go through these stock market shakes. Panic is what causes this stuff to turns this stuff into recessions and makes it hurt more and turn into something worse needlessly.

Should I even bother with applying for a building permit for my bomb-shelter or do I not have the time?

time to step up our game or get out - learn Dynamo, get licensed - be outstanding or face the prospect of getting culled

having barely survived the last recession - I need to to take a hard look at reality and consider going into something else - computer programming - starting with dynamo - then move over into product design or web dev.

I think this blood moon must have passed Uranus first. Maybe the ancient astronauts will have escape pods emerge from the pyramids for the chosen ones before the comit impacts Earth.

I'm obviously no expert, but I'll go ahead and speculate-- this sounds like a market correction, not a sign of pending crisis.

Oil prices are at record lows, whereas 2008 saw oil prices in excess of $140/barrel immediately preceding the crash, RE speculation was out of control and everyone had a massive suv and mcmansion. Im seeing more and more hybrid and electrics on the road, people are living more economically--I think middle classers still have 2008 clear in their minds. 

The good news, is if it goes down again, we all go together..pretty much. I'll just ski bum and work at mcd's if I have to. Lets stay positive.

Sorry guys - it's not time to panic yet. The economy's pretty strong and resilient.

This is just a reasonably orderly market correction that will prove to be - in the long run - a healthy development.

Its not this recession/ correction that is going to be bad, it is the next one... 2008 is still too fresh in everyone's minds.
