IN A WORD "GM"

This is surely sad, it is likely that the stock could fall to $0.....it could live on but somebody is going to get the shaft.

China rescue plan BS.

World is in a deflationary spiral.....DOW to NEW LOWS during this Bear market.......some businesses will go on like nothing is happening....and my business hs picked up this week, nothing huge, but real live customers coming in. I do offer lower cost alternatives, but it hadn't mattered.

Thanks jbr and SSK for your thoughts, I will do my best to survive, I redid my showroom, reorganized it, put out new stuff, it looks best it ever did!

No, we didn't do anything and are caught up in this, but the collosal screw ups wont leave many without scars....looks like Obamma's team is full of the regular insiders.....
