I agree that Bob Axtell seems to belong the lucky few. The situation
seems to be not good even for non-financial sectors. And it
has gone beyond the US borders and spilled over to other
countries.

And here in Asia we start to feel the pain already. Yesterday I
was talking to my brother and he told me this year they will have
no bonus even though he is the so called top performer in the
company. And his business unit is doing quite well but the
parent company (a relative big US public listed company with
about 7000 employee and about US$1.5Billion annual revenue)
is not doing that well.

And back in China, the stock market has lost more than
50% of its value compared to last year.

So something needs to be done by US and other
government. How to do it? I do not know...
