Stocks opened lower this morning. The bad news included the data that U.S. retail sales have fallen 1.2% in September, "the most in three years," according to Bloomberg News. It marks three consecutive months of declines (a first since 1992) and an economist at Global Insight Inc. sums it up, "The fourth quarter is guaranteed to be terrible."




GORDON BROWN, IF ONLY
While Britain's economy is repaired
By its former Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Ours is further tilted to the wealthy
By Henry Paulson, the Wall Street Wrecker.
This comes as a surprise to wall street!?
I just knew it wasn't over.
Of course it's not over, this is only the beginning!
