Maybe the stock market should be temporarily closed for several months (or even a year or longer) until the economy improves. There is precedent for this: The stock market was closed for several months during WWI.

Why make us watch our retirement accounts continue to shrink, and shrink, and shrink? Shut the market down until things improve. When the economy improves, there will be reason for stocks to go up again.

The November lows are very close to breaking (the lows have already been broken on the DOW), and if they do it could go MUCH lower. Something needs to be done.
