you should remember that you don't just "snap" your fingers and end up in the depression , it's a gradual decline over time to painfull levels ... kinda like easing into a hot tub ... so i can understand that you don't "see" it , but it's still there ...
The stock market has fallen day after day this week and the world markets are now crashing down as well .... and while those of us on "main street" still seem unaffected , it's only a matter of time before the storm hits ... with credit markets frozen , it won't be much longer before we see adverse affects .
Ask yourself , what kind of recession starts out with HUGE banks and instutions going bust ? there are so many i can't name , and now the 700 billion dollar bailout has failed to renew investor trust ..
