15 Companies That Might Not Survive 2009 – (Including Mine)

Realogy Corp. Privately owned; about 13,000 employees. It’s the biggest real-estate brokerage firm in the country, but that’s a bad thing when there are double-digit declines in both sales and prices, as there were in 2008. Realogy, which includes the Coldwell Banker, ERA, and Sotheby’s franchises, also carries a high debt load, dating to its purchase by Apollo Management in 2007 – the very moment when the housing market was starting to invert from a soaring ride into a sickening nosedive. Realogy has been trying to refinance much of its debt, prompting lawsuits. One deal was denied by a judge in December, reducing the firm’s already tight wiggle room. [Update: See this response from Realogy.]

Ok, ok.  I suppose it’s time for the talk.  THIS IS NOT A MAN.  This is a woman who didn’t complete a sex change!  It’s not a miracle of science or anything else, it’s just a selfish fucked up individual who dreams of screwing up the childhood of multiple kids.  “Is that your daddy?” “It’s complicated…”  If you want to be a man, finish what you start, are you afraid of commitment?

Too bad capitalism in America died the day congress approved the bailout and the people elected Barrack Obama.  Everyone welcome our socialist nanny state, it’s here already, you just don’t know it yet.

Circuit City goes belly up, just in time for Christmas

“Shares in Richmond, Va.-based Circuit City fell 14 cents, or about 56 percent, to 11 cents on Monday before being halted.”

Circuit City files for bankruptcy protection: Financial News – Yahoo! Finance.

When your stock has a value of 11 cents, then you can officially say that you’re doing something wrong.

I kinda started to like Circuit city in the last few years.  It’s the only brick and mortor store close by, and being away from Best buy for awhile helped me kick the silly habit of going there for anything.  This is hardly a suprise, I hardly goto actual stores for anything other than food now-a-days, and I would be willing to bet that’s a trend that’s increasing with people more each year.
