GE met analyst expectations this morning after it was said they'd probably be 3% short - I wonder if anyone will care.

Warren Buffet will, he bought about 3 bil worth of GE last week. |

how does that happen. |
I guess because so many Britons had savings accounts in Iceland. I still think it's a pretty ignorant move on the UK's behalf...this is a time where countries should be helping one another.
The Swedish Bank even gave out a loan to help their arm in Iceland despite woes in their country as well.
Found another article on BBC that explains the situation a bit better. Apparently the UK is acting upon some anti-terrorism act?

You can buy Iceland for only $9 Billion. I wonder if anyone has put it up for bid on E-Bay yet? |

I remember back in the Mighty Ducks movie how Iceland was the team to beat in the Nationals there...
Apparently they are ranked #38 by the IIHF, just behind the Mexican Ice Hockey Team...:eek:

I just read this article on Africa's concern over the world financial crisis and how they hope it won't "affect aid".

I hope I don't sound ignorant here but it ticks me off the AU is more concerned about the amount of aid money they'll receive than anything :whip: |

Well what the hell else would they have to worry about?
They certainly aren't concerned with mortgage defaults. |
