I'd like to think that we're all innovative enough around here to be able to see opportunities, wherever they exist.

Reports of the my death are premature, but, there still exists the opportunity to sell a will, a pension plan, a nice plot in the cemetary. The opportunities are there, we just need to look for them.

Read the IMF report closely: It's talking about "starting to pull..." out of recession. As some astute members have indicated in this thread, things are a-changin' and we need to adapt to the modern world. It isn't going to be the same as it was ten years ago, so stop thinking you'll keep doing the same things you did back then when things pick up again.

If there are markets growing, and others not, look to the growing markets. They may be geographic, they may be technology sectors, or some other fad. As webmasters, innovators, technologists, business owners, and entrepreneurs (pick you own label), we should be looking at these reports with an open mind, be prepared to listen, and to be able to act for our, and our children's future.
