Let's see the amount of tulip we get in with this unravelling now happening. I predict masses of lovely tulip.

You might think you'll be in a position to gloat, as perhaps other people on the sidelines might be thinking. Perhaps you believe that this is the day you've been waiting for all this time and that you will finally be able to take advantage of cheap assets whilst pointing fingers at those who will inevitably suffer greatly. The truth is far worse than what you might be expecting, and really there is very little you will be able to either prepare or to benefit from it.

You gotta make the hay when the sun shines to feed your flock in the winter.
