Is there any evidence that anyone is actually worried, or is it just people worrying that other people might be worried? I mean, the markets are down, but that's just a "quickly grab a chair now that the music's stopped" situation isn't it? Or alternatively, regression to the mean? Someone please correct me if I'm grossly misunderstanding here. As you may be able to tell I'm no expert, to put it mildly.
