This animal is one we likely haven't grappled with before. The problem is structural or systemic, not cyclical. “Frugal” is right, Bruce.

Depression - what you get when your computer is fixed. Auto dealer radio ads for next year: "No credit? Yeah we don't have any either. Let us know if you find some ok?" CNBC most frequent stupid statement for next year: The same as this year, "there are no buyers". This one drives me crazy. For every stock that is sold there is a buyer. If there's no buyer there's no volume. STFU. Words for next year:
