I am not trying to protect myself. To be honest I am trading Forex 95% of the time and for me wild swings in currencies that these uncertain times bring are the best money spinners.
I just hope common sense prevails and the panic stops, mostly starting from these idiots calling the world a dying place.
Even if things are to be bad, it is a much more pleasant life to live day by day and be happy with your family and friends rather than being belted with how long the recession will last and how deep it will be.
Who gives a stuff. The world economies are in a pull back, so what. After I cam back from a holiday last year I pulled back also and paid off some debt, and am still doing it. I don't go ringing all my friends telling them how bad it was because I spent too much and had to borrow off family to get by.
Anyway, I also look at it this way. If every year you were to bet the markets would go up, you would be right more times than wrong, so in any respect the odds of a good year are in our favour, and that goes for economies and markets.
