They call it financial crisis !!!!!

Things r goin' down n down !!!!!
Did we ever dream of it........ a few months back everytin' was rosy. Then a bubble, then a recession, then a crisis, then a bailout, and then a bigger crisis with markets plunging all over.
People r losing jobs & money , & big names r goin' bankrupt. A decade ago in India share market was the illusionary fairy land for a middle class working indian where big money could be made within minutes.....where lacs could be converted into crores and so on but he himself had not dared to touch it directly for it seemed to be a gamble where if someone gained someone lost too.
But things changed a few years ago, share markets rose to new heights & everybody including the common Indian
wanted his pie too...................the "investment" was the new buzzword and then came this plunge.
In these times when even the most highly acclaimed economists r too baffled to predict the future ,can somebody answer if the era of 'common man investment' ended with this financial crisis !!!!!
