The DAO seemed like a great opportunity and I still don't regret taking the risk to invest in it. Sure it turned out a bit too good to be true but what do you expect?
I am glad of the DAO hack as I believe it will make Ethereum stronger. We keep forgetting ethereum is still BETA. Having these setbacks now is a benefit to the entire blockchain in the long run.

Trading volumes are low. I guess many are waiting for the hard fork to be over with
As of this moment 11:50 am Slock it has posted following message:
"The Devs are hard at work! The Go team, the C++ team, Ethcore (Parity, the Rust client), and even Vitalik himself (Python) are all actively developing, reviewing, and testing the hard fork Client upgrades.
..
This means the last date for a clean hard fork without any exceptions added to the specification is the 16th of July."
