Best way I've been able to cope with it is through humour, which can get you through most things. Here's one I saw the other day:

Consider this: If you had purchased $1000.00 of Babcock & Brown stock one year ago, it would now be worth $6.00. With Centro, you would have $15.50 left of the original $1000. With City Pacific, you would have less than $20.00 left. If you had purchased $1000.00 of Minara Resources stock you would have $99.00 left. If you had purchased Storm Financial, you would have nothing left. But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all the beer, and then turned in the cans for recycling, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is called the Super-Stubbie Plan.
