The great investment dilemma

Sharon Astyk has a long and thoughtful post (does she ever have any other sort?) about the psychology of investment which is well worth reading and digesting. It follows on from the point I was making about slow and fast changes in my last post. We are looking at a big change in people's thinking brought on by a sudden shock, and these changes can be rapid, far more rapid than the ability of institutions, laws and our physical infrastructure's capacity to change to fit new circumstances.
