At some point, banks will resume their lending. And confidence will be restored. Perhaps it's already happening. May well be. pbull, I've seen no reticence on the part of bankers to lend, I did a small re-fi on my biz and had 3 good deals to pick from. I have another project I put on hold and my banker calls now and then to see if I'm ready to pull the trigger. I have other friends who are not finding it difficult to borrow. If there is reticence, it may be (ought to be) on the part of business people. AG dumbfounded me today. P.S. After reading Bopster's post, he was refering to those on the corporate sickbed. He's right about that. I know some folks who are runnin on fumes as well. Tricon just bailed out about 100 T-bell franchisees.
