   This is tougher to answer than many might think. I think the media has a responsbility to handle this story very carefully. Confidence in the markets helps determine their direction, and too many gloom and doom stories that overstate the situation don’t help.

   However, this is pretty clearly the biggest crisis we’ve had since the 1930’s. Extraordinary measures are taking place in many countries; heck, Iceland is almost bankrupt.

   So far, I haven’t seen many signs of panic in the media, which is good. That may be because most reporters don’t understand the issues (I don’t completely), and that can dampen the hysteria. But so far, so good.
