When there is a depression, these people lose money hand over fist as they can only function in a boom. Now we need different personality types and not just the cost cutter.

Add value to a business and that means putting many of them out of our misery! Rand is not nonsense. In a bubble, then any body with a pulse and able to say yes, makes money.
