guys dont get it? the vast majority of the money that was invested is sitting in cash, by last account over 3 or 4 trillion. The market is already pricing in the end of the world. The market is looking 6 months ahead. Large unemployement + lower wages = Corporations are leaner, more efficient, reduced costs = Profit. Profit good for shareholders. Besides, 6.8% unemployement is not terrible, we are expecting between 9 and 10 as a firm.
