Awaiting Crucial G7 Comments
The G7 is meeting here in Washington right now and a joint statement is expected at about 6 p.m. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson will hold a press conference at 6:45 p.m.
The G7 is made up of the finance ministers from Canada, Italy, England, France, Germany and Japan, along with the U.S.--Paulson.
They are meeting in Washington this weekend and investors hope the G7 can come up with a coordinated effort to get credit flowing again, the lifeblood of the world economy.
"Markets and people the world over will be looking for a clear sign that governments of the largest economies in particular are prepared to act -- they are prepared to take firm measures that will make a difference," Alistair Darling, Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, told Reuters.

The same old problems with a new rub.
Mr. Mozilo received about $120 million in compensation and proceeds from sales of Countrywide in 2007, while Mr. O’Neal walked away from Merrill Lynch with a $161 million retirement package.
Like all this thievery is something new. It's all high end. There's another plan.

Now the feel gooders want to hug it out. Back to reality for just a second. It's really looking more like a shoot out here. People tend to forget we are at war here for our liberty and success.
