This is the time when fortunes are made, during periods of economic turbalence in a prime segment of the economy.  If you have enough money, you can make prime investments by buying low and then, when things pick up, selling high.  Case in point:

 As the credit crisis started to shake global financial markets in August, the owners of the 22-acre (9-hectare) estate at 309 Taconic Road in Greenwich, Connecticut, cut their price to $19 million, showing turbulence in the U.S. housing market penetrating the wealthiest strata of American society.

If you have an extra $19 million lying around, now is the time to use it and wait for this property appreciate in value.  Make a tidy sum, I’d think.

(For a round-table discussion of these problems, try the Onion.)
