This isn't a serious reply to bash anyone here but it makes me sad that after a crisis like this hits and many people die because they weren't prepared or they used all of their money as a result of the crisis, to think that a relative handful of people who have the capital to freely invest money into stocks of wealthy companies so that they can profit off them at a later point after the economy has recovered. It's always the same people isn't it? These opportunities don't come unless you've already got the money and education to make use of them. So what's the future look like? More of the same. Don't get me wrong though. It's the best thing to do if the opportunity is there for you. I want to be wrong about this though. Maybe I'm seeing it from the wrong light. So if someone wants to tell me otherwise, feel free.

> These opportunities don't come unless you've already got the money and education to make use of them. The question is if that's even an opportunity. The market may very well fall or be flat for the next decade. Having money does not equate to automatic making of more money - there's plenty of moneyed families who lost it all and went on to became cab drivers etc. > So what's the future look like? More of the same. The future looks relatively bright. In general, gigantic, unprecedented numbers of people are lifted out of poverty every year now. The world is already an amazing place compared to where it was just a hundred years ago, and it looks like the trend will continue. There are threats like climate change, resource depletion etc. but it's unclear if they can wipe out all of the gains we've already made.
