Lehman Brothers Collapse (ITN News Video)

Posted by edzmaya on September 15, 2008

As all of these were happening, I was busy hiking up a mountain.

———————————————————————————–

I am an employee and I really felt sad seeing those people carrying their boxes out, finding themselves suddenly unemployed. “There is no such thing as a “secure” job”, they say, and really, this statement once again hits the nail on the head, as one of the largest investment companies folded.

After hearing the news, I got scared at first, but more than that, it gave me some kind of a boost on reaching my (financial) goals faster. I can do this.

Here’s the youtube clip by ITN News:

    hi eds. it’s really sad. maski bear stearns w/c has been around 100 years+ wasn’t safe. it’s unnerving especially when you see the dow fluctuating so much intraday never mind one day. i haven’t even checked my 401k since this started. nahadlok ko! hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel and greedy people will learn from this! grrrr…

    Hi Mels. How is it there in New York? You’re really right in the middle of it, no? Sa financial industry ka right? Definitely there is light at the end of the tunnel. One consolation is that at least we still have more years ahead of us. Tama ka gid. Greed gid ang reason.
