I think some of the people who who have such a rosy outlook are just expressing wishful thinking. I can only guess that they are probably not
conspiracy thinkers.

Most of us here think there's more to it than just a regular dip in the stock market. I suppose the economy COULD be
"fixed" with the steps they're taking, but I have serious doubts.
I, too, agree that it's going to continue to fall the rest of this year. And I'm fine with that. We lost some money in the stock market, but it
hadn't fully rebounded after 9/11, so we had already lost it. Fortunately, it was "gambling money".
