'Now is the time of opportunity, not panic.'

Yes, of course - no one is suggesting panic.

If you are cashed up, or at least debt free, then there are many opportunities. If you are debt laden as many people are, or if you had your super/pension tied up in shares, as many people did, then things are a bit different.

# For some, but if you're looking at the entire economy I'd argue too little debt is worse than too much debt.
And too little debt being issued is where we are at the moment.

# I hear you,
if you have no cash or are in debt, you would be suffering anyway.

The folk who have their funds tied up in shares knew what they were getting into and the ones who didn't should not have been playing that game.

Sorry to sound so hard
