"When all the scared rats are leaving a sinking market, that's when a real entrepreneur steps in -- a true visionary." - Tim Riggins, Friday Night Lights. Probably a bad idea to seek financial advice from Riggs, but the sentiment holds true. Public panic causes assets to change hands. Houses, cars, stocks, land, guns...it's all for sale when the public gets in a frenzy. Prime time opportunity for those who have been in the market for such.
