I’m not hoping for the market to drop. I don’t have that much power. I wish I do, everytime I want to buy, I just wish for it. But really, that’s why I have low equity ratio, why are people complaining here. I don’t complain when the market goes through the roof and I have low equity ratio either. So get a grip.

You good folks may have noticed that the stock market already declined 34%.

This kind of thing tends to happen once in a decade or so.

The roadmap back looks like this:

1. Fairly quick progress in getting this thing contained. The actions have to look like they are working.
2. Fairly fast progress in getting people back to work....idle machinery rusts, it is not a fine wine.
3. Once in play, hoping like hell the Fed hit that increasingly small sweet spot between inflation and deflation and can adjust accordingly.

It's a tough roadmap.

Let's hope it doesn't come to people shooting people to get their toilet paper.
