LOL! Nice...

I always seem to expect other people to be smarter than me, and then 
feel dissapointed when they aren't. (Which is odd, considering I'm such 
a pessimistic person.)

My pension provider just wrote to me to say that although the current 
situation is looking pretty grim, things should turn out OK in the end. 
The whole "these things happen from time to time, now is not the time to 
panic, etc." I don't know whether to be reassured or dismiss it as 
marketing hype. (Basically they don't want me to close the pension fund 
they currently have the use of...)
