I lived trough the fall of the Eastern bloc. It was a time of great opportunity there. I want one now too now when I am at proper age to take advantage of similar effects. There was no need for hiding in mountains.
I assume "take advantage of similar effects" means loot your neighbours?
Which is sad. I really want to see the global economy devastated. It will be quite fun.
This isn't the place for trolling. From the guidelines: "Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity." Expressing joy over the suffering of others isn't civil. Lets not turn this into reddit.
Then watching people do the same mistakes again ...

Because it looks to me like the stock market has a tendency to follow an exponential curve - or at least a high degree polynomial. I also believe that to a certain extent the stock market is bound to the real world and in the real world growth is currently not following an exponential/high degree polynomial curve.

There was no looting of the neighbors. There was some racketeering though. It was mostly redistribution of the previously state owned enterprises.
TLDR: not very sick, just very short-sighted, panicky and greedy.

Hope this is sarcasm. No one really wins from a recession. Sure you may make some money if you go short at the right time, but it's still better to have moderate wealth in a rich world than be among the richest in a poor one.
Source? I'm pretty sure the latter makes you much happier.
