The Economy Freaks Me Out!

Sometimes I think ignorance would be bliss. I know too much about economics to not think that we are going into the next big depression. I currently have 2 friends who think they will lose their jobs shortly and I myself know economic hardship as my current job is a 30k pay cut from my last job and yet....I am employed, thank the Lord. I keep thinking that I need some extra money so I'll sell off some of my stocks and then I remember that they aren't really worth anything anymore.
