Sorry to burst your bubble.... economies have downturns.... sometimes lengthy ones.

Sure, and the National Enquirer predicts them every year. As you're probably very well aware SOMEONE predicts them every year.

So here's the logic you've presented:

1. Sometimes economies have downturns.
2. The stock market tends to go in cycles
3. terrorism which will cause people to travel less, spend less, etc. which will hurt the economy

1. True. But if I ask you why the sky is blue you have to be able to say something better than "because it is blue". A is true because sometimes A is true. Circular logic.

2. I assume you're pointing out the fact that sometimes markets go up and sometimes down. OK, Agreed. That's trivial. So you're saying it will go down because sometimes it goes down. Circular logic again.

3. "terrorism which will cause people to travel less, spend less, etc. which will hurt the economy"? Completely conjectural. Probably the same logic as in the most recent Enquirer article.

Come on, Monk. Wake up,man! You're boring me. Have anything a little more concrete? Impress me.
