got the sack monday morning turning back

Since my post about the money woes of Wall Street, three of my friends have lost their jobs and I'm hearing stories of many more people that have either been laid off or let go. I guess that answers the question if there would be any fallout from the meltdown. It doesn't look like this week is starting out very well:

Asia Stocks, Euro Fall as Credit Crisis Widens; Treasuries Gain
Asian stocks and U.S. index futures fell as deteriorating credit markets prompted European governments to pledge bailouts for troubled banks. The euro slumped to a 13-month low, while Treasuries advanced.
Hang tough. It might be time to dust off the apple carts.

Well, it looks like the political powers-that-be are going to change a bit in the near future, hopefully for the better. It doesn't help the markets that W was scaremongering last week.

Well with the market below 9,000 after falling another 680 points I am pretty sure there is a lot more people getting the axe by Friday. The sky is falling look:))))))
