Refinance, consolidate debts. Short some stocks. Recent market activity may shake up some folks who are closer to retirement and mis-allocated, but should I worry with 30 years before I can even touch my IRA's? Take advantage of recent events.

Kind of like "is the glass half empty, or is the glass half full?" Personally, I'm 100% cash, have a 50% equity position in my home, which I am seriously considering refinancing... today's rate offerings in our area are in the 5.00% range for 15 years...

People who do day trading and futures probably didn't do so well. But that's part of the risk involved in their business choice. I'm just glad that I'm in it for the long run. 43 years to catch up. :) I’m not sure if you’re going to get rid of the spam comment or just remove the links—but I think that your analysis is dead on unless you’re talking about traders who, well, trade a lot.
