I bought stocks; my husband bought CDs. Now I can't bear to look

I can't get up the nerve to tell my husband just how much money we've lost.

    Corporations WILL survive and thrive

    people still need diapers and food and cars.

    WHICH companies will survive is a slightly different question. Toyota? You can bet it will likely be around. GM? Well, I kind of doubt it, at least not without a lot of further pain, since they seem married to old ways.

    The US is in a strong position because we lead the planet in innovative transnational companies, so far. These companies do not cover our nation's tax burden like they might, this is an ongoing issue.

    Also, just WHO will benefit from these companies coming back in the coming years and decades? Whoever has invested money into them.
