Hello Thomas,

You know, I'm living in ROMANIA - some where the opposite side of the Earth! If you drop a sharp enough arrow at your place it will come out over here, at my place LOL
... though, I may tell you and inform that, the crisis is over here too! BANKS ARE and always WERE RELATED no matter where they were/are in the world!

... but let me tell you what's even worse: the same banks that are in a big "cow pie" right now and get money to survive are investing them and gambling on our market and giving kicks to our "week and just rising" economy and currency! They have already knocked out Hungary and almost Poland! We also got a big hit, but so far our National Banks Governor could face them! But how long?! ... and why is that they want US and not U.S. to pay their greed?!

... well, I won't get into this any deeper, but I had to tell you about this! Don't be surprised by the upcoming consequences!

God help us,
Anamaria

_{Get as deep as you want Anamaria, im pretty much fed up with our government and how they operate, we should of seen this coming when there was a huge drop in our housing rates, people were borrowing left and right for down payment plans from the banks, the inventory is way out of hand with most business' now, no worrys right? wrong! unless you make money in advertising theres no problem but what about the working force out there, i pray for those people who lost there new homes and new business start ups. I think Mc Cain is not going to help the situation get better if he is elected but will see, its getting down to the wire....so excited aren't you?.......NOT! LOL}

Hi Thomas,

From everything I've read, this is global and going to
get a lot worse.  It's starting to affect parts of Canada
too. The 40 year mortgage is gone, the no money down
or using RRSPs, gone, and deposits on mortgages have
gone up.

Having said that, we are still in a pretty good position
compared to many other countries.

Thank God I am in the right business, which is even more
essential now.

Have a lovely weekend,

Jen

Yeah i know how you feel, some of my family have lost work and even foreclosed on there homes, like always we come together like family and try to ease the situation no matter what they are. I'm being asked to teach about my marketing skills now how do you like that? me, i don't get it. Anyway i noticed that its a world problem now, no thanks to free trade agreements but there essential to keep our allies in a peaceful state for all. Thank you for your input, i must go set up the Showcase for tomorrow.God_bless you Jen and your family :)
