Dow plunges on news recession began in Dec. 2007


Most Americans sorely knew it already, but now it's official: The country is in a recession, and it's getting worse. Wall Street convulsed at the news -- and a fresh batch of bad economic reports -- tanking nearly 680 points. With the economic pain likely to stretch well into 2009, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday he stands ready to lower interest rates yet again and to explore other rescue or revival measures.

Some good stuff there River. For flunkies like myself, no matter how much my retirement, cash, and assets increase (maybe) over my lifetime it will be but a microscopic crumb compared to the folks who are truely in control of the global financial scene. There is so much domesday and wool being pulled over everyone's eyes it's pathetic. I don't buy any of it. That skyhigh market value didn't just go poof. My retirement, yes it went poof. Someone is sitting back with a big stogie having a nice chuckle. All I can do is dance on, just pull my string.
