Default Looks like West Marine isn't doing very well.

Obama isn't going to bail them out, unless a buddy owns them.

Good move reducing the debt as they can scale down the business to
fit
the
new times. If they couldn't reduce debt, they might as well have
closed
the doors. Which I am sure many in this sector have. Because recover
is
a Obama wet dream, this recessions losses will have a permanent long
term
impact on the boating industry.

Bet there will not be as many on the water this summer.


I forgot... all of the economic problems in the US are a result of
Obama's
policies! Thanks for reminding me.

I will be watching the market reaction this Monday. Thank you for the
reminder, want to make sure my stop losses are in and some real low
skunk
bids are in.

Yes, you should go hide under the bed. Don't come out until the
telephone
rings three times, hangs up, rings twice more and hangs up. Then, you
can
answer it and come out.


Hey, we know you don't have to worry about your wealth as you are a
worthless hanger. Most lib-dims are.



Thanks to careful investments over the years in "instruments" over which
I have some control, plus my union pension, plus my savings and social
security, plus my union health insurace, *I* surely have a lot less to
worry about than you do...*and* I'm still working.

Must suck to be you...an ex-pat who can't afford to return to the USA.


Does not suck to be me at all.

100% of my pension is directly in my name. I do not have to worry about
pension write downs nor do I factor in the need for government pension.

So if government does not raise social security (CPP in Canada), or the
union pension goes bust or takes a write down, I don't have to worry.

So you were a civil servant, explains a lot.
