Positive sides
Cheap stocks/mutual funds
Cheaper gas
Negative sides
feeling of fear of Alberta being shut down in the summer with no work for any of the O&G companies.
Bored at work with less to do.
No more 0% loan offers. (used to get 1 or 2 a year, which I would gamble on stocks)
I was rather fortunate to have pulled out of the markets before the drop. I re-invested some of it 2 weeks ago. Looks like that might have been too early, but i should be able to dollar cost average throughout the year.
