What can YOU do to stop the Recession TODAY! please Reblog and Spread the Word! - Help us get back on the right path

Our dizzying spiral upwards over the years which preceded this recession was fueled by confidence in ever increasing asset values. Confidence which pushed purchase prices far beyond what "felt right". In 1996 Alan Greenspan made the now famous statement regarding the markets:

"Clearly, sustained low inflation implies less uncertainty about the future, and lower risk premiums imply higher prices of stocks and other earning assets. We can see that in the inverse relationship exhibited by price/earnings ratios and the rate of inflation in the past. But how do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values, which then become subject to unexpected and prolonged contractions as they have in Japan over the past decade?"

The real estate boom, as we know, followed the stock market boom and it's subsequent crash. Part of what pushes us further down, is the same force that pushed us up, irrationality. What we followed up as we reached for the gold ring, is the exact converse overly irrational feeling of doom. The media, of course, was the fuel to the fire, both on the way up and on the way down. However, even they are now have realized their influence and are SAYING

"Stop the doom and gloom talk!"

What is clear is that we must STOP our own doom thoughts, no matter how rough our future looks and do something to stop the cycle down.
