Of course this is what occured. This was true in the 1980's too. The Dem. Congress screwed the pooch there too. In fact, things were so wild I was offered an entire "Town" with amusement park, shopping center, and THOUSANDS of empty residential lots, infrastructure in place, in Colo, between Denver and Golden. ON MY SIGNATURE only! At the time, my net worth was less than $250,000....
Anyway, this slowdown looks to be one that will be shorter than the 1980's stupidity. So, we're looking at a "buying oportunity" if you get the timing right. I'm still studying the Williston Basin oil and gas reserves. Maybe a publically owned drilling company, or maybe a "bundle" of associated stocks.....anyway, it has my attention.
