John,

<<There is a lot of media hype in all this>>

So true. And the media now includes us - the worldwide internet chatter and instant info awareness types. This just magnifies those who tend to overreact big time and create more volatility than otherwise would be the case.

In my opinion, the constant focus on the negative aspects of every story without counterbalancing with the positive aspects is an example of editorializing by the media that creates fear and uncertainty.

And they think they are unbiased. Ha!

Finally, remember what FDR had to say about fear. I think Americans and others need some reminding. Anyone have a link to a midiclip of that comment? If I had one, I'd post it here - so instead of reading this, you would hear him saying, "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."
