Can someone afford one now? In Chennai, India people have already started to keep a close track of coins which is going out of wallets. I am not sounding pessimistic but just reflecting the reality that is going on here.
I would say, there should be a significant patronage for public transport services to save fuel (fossil) consumption and bring the acute road traffic under control.

But that is for my company only. The US economy will not recover till 2010 or 2011.
For me I will do better financially in 2009 than I did in 2008 just as I have for the last 14 consecutive years. Well that is if the new president does not cut the cancer research budget forcing NIH to not fully fund their contracts.

I have decided that I will win MegaMillions this year.
So far as I can tell, guesting at a series of Caribbean all-inclusive resorts will make it a Great Year.

I voted Great as, finally, I'll be launching my own project. It is funded by 2-year long Irish innovation funds which were increased recently, bucking the economic meltdown.

I also answered Great. Our company doubled our revenue last year, and we hope to do the same this year.

Hospital Industry. I guess you just never stop needing a hospital.

I agreed, I am working with medical devices and it's still paying good.

I answered good year for us but I just read my company is making 15,000 redundant this month. I'm just praying it isn't the sub-department I'm in
|
|
|
|
|
15,000 redundant is good?
I wouldn't like to be there on a bad year.
|
|
|
|

The company will perform good (as in make profit), but yeah the 15,000 redundancies is bad; I just hope I'm not one of them!
Reading more news, it looks like Europe is going to get hit the worst, great

And why are you taking these "reports" seriously in the first place? Some of them claim the layoffs were already announced internally. Did you get anything?

Yep. Only getting news from what I'm reading in the paper, nothing has been said internally yet. Reports say if anything is announced it'll be before the 21st of Jan.

We have 18 months of backlog, so 2009 is taken care off. I don't know how much new business will they be able to bring in though. Hopefully the economy will get better before I have to start worrying about that.
