We found out this morning that the economy lost 524,000 jobs in the month of December. Simple logic would tell you those people were potential buyers of new televisions, cameras and other consumer electronics products.

It's not just the new phone, it's the ... read more

Just a few months ago, Congress passed a $700 billion rescue package to help save the nation's financial system, now it is gearing up to loan $14 billion to our auto makers. We want to know how you feel about the proposed loan to the Big 3. Where do we draw the line? Is enough enough and they should be allowed to fail? Or will too many jobs be lost and further sink our economy? Weigh In! ... read more
