Worries

Two of my friends lost their jobs recently.
The stock market is very worried.
Maybe I should lighten up on my stocks. I did just sell some 3rd Ave Real Estate--
When you're not sure what to do in such situations, selling some shares (not all) is a good idea.
My own job may be in jeopardy. Newspapers seem to be getting desperate. See the Wall St Journal.
If I left my job, I'd freelance--but would miss benefits, routine, company, sources of self-esteem. And of course income.
I'll bet the freelance field is now very crowded.
