I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees things this way. There are just so many people who are echoing the who "it's the end of the world" sentiment. Thanks for backing me up here.

People can work better under different conditions.

As a relatively young person, seeing the stock market moving downward is actually a positive thing - assuming of course it does revert back to historical trends (yes, I know there are no guarantees). The reason that this is positive is that I am able to buy more stock at depressed prices. While we would all love to see our nest eggs growing as prices rise, that means I am buying less with each dollar. The more I can buy now, the more I stand to gain if the market does balance back out to historical averages. I agree with a lot of what you have to say.
