US Stock Market just closed. DOW ( our main index ) closed results are:
8,579.19 -678.91 (-7.33%)
5th day in a row with major losses. 1 year ago today it was at its all time high of 14,279.96.
Sure hope this doesn't affect me being able to go to Italy.

One of those AIG chaps has been asked to explain to congress why he continues to draw down a million dollars a month in salary as well 
The days of big bonuses in UK and Ireland are surely gone now anyway

Gone for now more like JS. This thing will last till next year and the markets will eventually improve and boom once again in a few years. All about cycles.
No one has any confidence in investing. so for now, and for a year or so, the economies are ball0xed.

I will be selling off a few things in prep for the Italy away. Can't count on me job for the money. At least the exchange rate for USD to Euro is getting better for me. The US stock market is still plunging... bet it will drop below 8000 today.

yank -just like a night in Bangkok - relief is on the way. Hedge funds fcuking it all up. Reform, regulation and back to normal in the next 2 weeks.
At least i fcuking hope so, as 401k is down 31% year to date. At this rate I'll be greeting customers in walmart when i'm 117 years old.
keep the faith over there on the west coast.
