i don't think yo have thought the credit crisis through....

there's going to a huge decline in disposable income... its already been happening..

people are losing and have lost 20-35% of their retirement accounts and that will trickle down at some point.

retail sales are going to be terrible this holiday season and thats going cause further turmoil in the market.

of course its not the end of the world, but i think its going to be very challenging.
