Some will have better predictions than others. I'm not an economist so at least a few answers in this thread will be more accurate than my expectations.

Either this thing is "The End of the World As We Know It", or it is not.

Give it another week or so.

This advice does not work.

I have been "giving it another week" for 3 weeks now, trying to figure out which direction it is going to go.

It's unknown at the moment, but I doubt the bad guys win.

Pessimism isn't my style.

That's a pretty useless dichotomy. You could say that about pretty much any problem of any size, and it would be technically true.

Enough of the dramatization. It accomplishes nothing but stress.

The one thing I'm confident in predicting is that things won't be as they were.

To what extent is impossible to say right now.
