There's a nice metaphor in today's Globe and Mail newspaper, comparing recessions to car races.
Michael Lewis writes inRecession 101: Making a disaster work for you in Bloomberg News July 4, 2008
"The first thing you need to know about recessions is that they don't signal the end of anything on Wall Street.
They're more like a yellow flag during a Formula One race: The cars coast gently around the track until the wreckage is cleared, whereupon they all roar off as if the accident never happened. The difference is that on Wall Street, it's possible to make the disaster work for you.
You can inch your car quietly forward so when the race recommences, you're the surprise leader."
