Dow Plunges!!!!
« on: December 02, 2008, 10:23:58 AM »
Is this the beginning of worse things to come? Logged on to yahoo and the first thing that was highlighted was this news. 

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081202/ap_on_bi_ge/financial_meltdown

They were saying that this time around it be very much worst since the great depression - even the 1997 financial crisis is nothing compared to what's coming.

Getting me very worried!!! Any advice on what to do and what to expect?

Probably that's why "they" let Obama win the elections ... This will be the worse of times!

ayoyo! ... was with a fren the other day, he was saying his bro-in-law, who's working with one of the electronics MNCs based in Penang, was laid off - given only a month's severance pay - and his bro-in-law has 4 mouths 2 feed. Apparently quite a number of MNCs have started laying off theirs workers - I heard somewhere about 15,000 workers were laid off!  Dunno how true .. but if it is ... real scary-lah!!!
