once in a life time

Could the current market be a once in a life time oppertunity. Who would have thought that stocks like ANZ BHP RIO IPL MCR AUW CBH MOF GCL MCC WHC WOR CBA NAB and the list go'es on and on would be there for you to buy at half the cost of less than 12mth's ago. What is the general oppion. The stock market can give some great oppertunity's. We have all heard of the crash of 1929 and the hardship it caused. Today is it a repeat or are governments stepping in to make sure it isn't repeated. The stock named are but just a few but I sure that we can all relate to some of bargains that are out there.
