Now, of course, you also get some principial paydown, but that may pale in comparison to an equity loss, if things do soften.

I would also keep an eye& ear out for the emerging innovators, every significant economic shift and calamity breeds innovators and those innovators require seed capital, think Facebook, Google, Netflix and so on, those early $ investors made multipliers on their capital that makes any other investment pale in comparison.
