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.

'Simple,' said the bank manager. 'Buy a big one and wait.'

"Ben, let's not lose the loop. How financiers view bankruptcy is not relevant to the discussion of an individual's capacity to pay something. Bankruptcy is being utilised as a means of evading debt obligations. "
