By the looks of the market.... and the comments in all the networks.... North America will be going back into the stone age....

Park your car and get in line for Fred Fintstone to carve you out a new 47 ton Ford to haul stumps. Order extra Nikies to push this beast, as Asia is lining up all the oil to be shipped over there... apparently we won't need it anymore because when our economy doesn't expand.... there is no consumption at all...

The talking heads are the problem as every story has the additional comment of doom and gloom attached. Maybe if they could start by not saying the sky is falling every 30 seconds!

The North American markets will rebound when the doom and gloom has been replaced with positive perception for the future.
