Whats going to happen if the stock market keeps going down?

[Ryan D]

Will the world markets go into chaos?

Depression, social collapse, protests, social unrest, civil disobedience, civil defiance, civil war, reset, perceived changes, do it all over again.

look at a chart of 2009... nothing happened then and we were in the 6000 range.. itll be fine, the market goes up and down...

gametime is half right ..... it happened before and about the same things will happen again .... however he would be way wrong in saying nothing happened ...... people became unemployed, lost their homes .... some more deserving than others ..... Peoples perception of how well off they are declined and in fact thier were numerous riots and violent demonstrations around the world mostly noted in Europe, The odds or civil wars increase dramaticly in poorer countries ect ..... but mostly whats going to happen is a very long slow decline in opportunity for everyone and those on the lower social scales of money and education will have it the worst.
