>an acquaintance of mine works for i2 What part of India does he come from?;) Hey Ike, your moment of glory looks like it finally got here. Everyone is recommending Gold funds as a hedge against the melt down.

this bailout/protectionism crap is getting outta hand! Everyone wants a free lunch now! If you can't compete, you lo$e! We should take a lesson from Japanese govt's 10 years of unsuccessful bailouts. As far as the steel industry's protectionism racket--we better have a good explanation when we discuss the P word with China(prior to WTO).

"once you start bailing out companies, where does it end?" This problem is compounded south of the border by the way in which this recession is being made worse by terrorism. This provides a "reason" to ask Washington for help. It may indeed be absolutely necessary. But some poor unfortunate half-wits then confuse this will "stimulus" and think we are on the verge of some great leap -- you know what they say, look before you leap.
