Frank: I am safe in my bunker. But this is sickening me as well.

Why? Because my friends and relations have been stricken and are hurting. Good people around me have seen their hopes and dreams dashed. It felt good like a "good trade" for a while. It was braggin' rights back when ups followed downs. But at the moment the pleasure of being right is turning to ashes as the market dissolves.

I think the word for it is empathy, and it is one of the most noble of the human emotions.

Perhaps another term might be "despair"

John.
