Well, yes and no. There is a lot of uncertainty in the economy right now and it looks like we are headed for a serious recession (technically, we are already in a recession). So the market may dry up for such cons/products. OTOH, the way our dollar is heading, it may well be worthless soon, and there are a lot of people recommending investing in hard assets (I guess buying a company would qualify). Basically, you could argue either side. It's not clear-cut.
