stocks go up and they go down...

And I never attribute short term swings to anything except mass emotion.

Although it feels good to look and see a larger number, although Barron's did a cover story a few weeks ago saying the stock market has a lot of upward potential, I know that 20% could be gone in a blink of an eye, and the end-of-the-world types can get all gleeful again as they were in 2008.

A friend of mine, big Ron Paul fan, bought the whole currency collapse scenario and invested in a triple negative index ETF (index down 1%, ETF should go up 3%). This was about 2000 Dow points ago. I don't rub it in. His story is anyway, the collapse is coming, any day now, his timing was just a tiny bit off.
