I think we have some people who are panicking, which is understandable, but it isn't going to help and they need to take a deep breath. 

You may either regret it or be relieved six months from now.

This has helped tremedously in analyzing mulitple deals. yup good time to learn excel and how to run Microsoft exchange ( at least for me ).. along with taking a deep dive into the stock market and how that all works..
