Joel Plasco says credit crunch needs calm words

Joel Plasco, chief executive of Collins Stewart, has called for more mature reporting of the credit crunch. Jerome Johnson (aping me) begs to differ –

Help! We're all going to die! The demons of the dark are devouring our money. The horror! O Jesus, save us. Save our souls. O Buddha, where are you now? O Krishna, what are you playing at?

I see fire in the crystal of the skull of the dog in the cavern of the night! Blood sticks to my face! Where is salvation? Where is shelter? Where are the heavenly angels when you need them?

Is this the end, as foretold in the Book of Revelation? I certainly hope not. I've got a lot on at the moment.
