ObscureSorry to read about your "crash". Maybe its a premonition or perhaps karma telling
you to be ready because its going to get nasty.
As for inflation, tell that one to our local vet who seems rather insulated from it. Our
dog chewed something and punctured the inside of his mouth which then caused an
infection. Total cost so far $1300 and counting. $250 of it for cytology which they
really didn't need because they used a broad spectrum antibiotic instead of one geared specifically to the cytology lab findings. Then they overcharged for the antibiotics and left me with a dog dripping blood from an open incision to take home and nurse back to health.
Got home and my wife practically fainted when she saw "Smokey". He is getting better but it made me think more about insurance and its purpose. That applies to
stock markets as well was my thinking.
