It may be the worst decline ever for SOME INVESTORS, but it's FAR from the "worst stock market decline ever". From 1929-1932 the "stock market" (commonly known as the DJIA) declined 85%. While many Nasdaq investors probably have losses like that, the OVERALL market is not that bad (yet!). The DJIA is down about 16% from peak and the broader Wilshire 5000 is down about 28%. It hurts but it's FAR from the "worst market decline ever". Daryll40

When will aide be offered to victims of the worst stock market decline ever? Don't worry Frozen...its being taken care of by that patron saint of the wealthy G. Bush. He's giving a tax cut to Bill Gates, Ellison, A. Grove, M. Jordan, J. Welsh, and all those wealthy Republicans that have really been hurt by this Nasdaq fall. Do you have any idea how many of their stock options are going to expire worthless?? Yes Sir, St. George feels their pain, and he's going to do something about it. Jerome :-)
