Overnight peoples (aka. Who's up?)

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just tell people to quit pulling their money out at the slightest sign of a downturn?
I mean, I've always wondered why there even HAS to be a downswing.
Sure.. free market and all that... but if so much of our prosperity as a nation rides on those seemingly arbitrary numbers on the stock ticker, why isn't there a little more control to keep it from getting into a downward spiral?

Yes... I'm 34 years old and asking a 19 year old about the economy...
