We're all doomed!...Doomed I tell ya! Sheesh guy, have a little optimism...This country has bounced back from worse. People on this board were predicting the doom of this industry because of rising oil prices. Some dingaling even predicted $300/barrel oil and has since quietly slunk off in embarassment. NO ONE on THIS board has the slightest clue what the economy will look like in 3 months.

Don't despair guys. I know of a man who immigrated to the US from Kenya as a child and despite having a zero balance in his debit account just seven short years ago and never in his life holding a nine to five job, he has managed to gain employment in a very high executive position. He is many times a millionaire now and even has several private jets.

I agree that predicting what the domestic/global economy might look like 3 YEARS into the future is murky, but the 6 different publications I read each week ALL AGREE the recession/depression only deepens over the next 3 MONTHS. Morgan Stanley this week is warning of a DEPRESSION significantly worse than the 1930's. Given the economic data and the 6-month lag any stimulus requires to become apparent (Econ 101), I am personally ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT in predicting our economic situation will look WORSE in 3 months! Call me an idiot if you wish.

Just keeping checking the ol' 401 K balance.
Mine's down about 39 percent.
Could be worse at 0.

Thanks Shaggy, bring this up in three months and we can open the time capsule and see what's what. I hope you have a good laugh at my expense.

I am ready for what the future brings me and no matter how ****ed off I get, I can't change a darn thing! I want us to be safe and support each other and not let the company get the upper hand! That's all! Not looking for a hand out or anything else from anyone!
