Stocks have come off their lows quite a bit at this point, but it can be seen that today was generally not a good day for the markets. You mean even killing the ‘monster’ al-Zarqawi couldn’t bring joys to the hearts of the free world?
In other news, if I get the job I had an interview for today, I will jump for joy. But most likely not. What are the chances I’ll be chosen out of an original 136 applicants…?
Which job interview was this?
Ahh… interest rates are adjusted once again of course
US and Canada both just increased their interest rates the week before too and no one was crying and bitchn’ about it. I dont see why this is such a surprise.
be afraid… be very afraid…
