		<description><![CDATA[In my 20-plus years of professionally investing money, I have never seen such a difficult market. Even 2000-2002 seemed to make more sense than this; there was a clear demarcation that saw a bubble quickly burst, rather than today when we have a slow bleed that eventually pops.
