I saw that coming as clear as a bell. Wish I had had the presence of mine to short them-lol. Things are worse than most people think. And make no mistake no mistake about it, bush/cheney and the Republicans caused this!

Just across the border, car sales were a different story....... Canadian September Auto Sales Rise, Helped by Toyota, By Hugo Miller Oct. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Auto sales in Canada rose 1.7 percent in September as an increase for Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles helped outweigh declines at General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., according to figures compiled by a consulting firm. Total sales of cars and light trucks climbed to 134,131 from 131,827 a year earlier, Richmond Hill, Ontario-based DesRosiers Automotive Consultants Inc. said today in an e-mailed statement. That included Toyota's 14 percent gain as well as GM's 6.5 percent drop and Ford's 6.3 percent decline, the firm said. The monthly increase, the second in five months, was buoyed by car sales, which climbed 5.1 percent. Light truck sales fell 2.2 percent. Canada's economy expanded at its fastest pace in four years in July, Statistics Canada said yesterday, as consumer confidence held up better than in the U.S. There, car and light truck sales probably fell for an 11th consecutive month in September, the longest slide in 17 years, as the financial crisis prompts lenders to tighten lending criteria and consumers to slow spending. bloomberg.com
