Those will get handy when the next crisis strikes (amplified by the vast capital held by index funds and resulting selling spree, infrastructure credit defaults, another round of real estate depreciation, etc.) If "the market moves in the direction of maximum damage" maxim is correct, I'd also add some runaway inflation to the mix.
