    15 Companies That Might Not Survive 2009

    Thought some of you would find this interesting:

    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/15-Com...-14279875.html

    The future economic and local business picture is looking very grim. Hopefully
    our new president can make the necessary changes and get us out of this mess.

    Hopefully our new president learns how to read the constitution.

    I could care less if those companies went under. They prosper for good reason, they go under for good reason.

    Krispy Kreme isn't a big surprise. They epic failed at cracking the New England market. Remember all the hype 3-5 years ago when they opened a bunch in the Boston-area? Dedham, Somerville, Prudential Mall, etc? They all closed within 2 years. Horrible business planning there folks.

    I think everyone's deposits are safe.
    I just don't like the CEO's attitude and neither do the stockholders.
    Everyone wants him out. He runs the company like a Monarchy and makes some very bad decisions.
    The Merril Lynch buyout was a sloppy move at best.

    Absolutely! I am all but completely out of there now and enjoy dealing with my local CU so much better. My days of BOA were less than enjoyable.

    six flags and sbarrro!? fuuuck...O ya and I really hope Chrysler doesn't either. I wouldn't pray on the president making good decisions, I'd pray that CEOs and upper management of companies around the country start pulling thier heads out of their asses

    Six flags would be a pain if that many parks were closed

    BOA I got transferred to them and saw the fees. The old fleet employees were like yeh the are out of line. 1 block away local bank free everything.

    Nissan now in trouble so maybe definitly no Chrysler help.

    Unfortunately neither TARP or the New Stimulus bill will create a single wealth building job.

    Meanwhile it will devalue all your savings at probably 10% a year

    If there were a few other major companies on that list, we may start to see the light...Wallmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes to name a few.

    I want to punch BoA in the nuts. With their stupid new "envelopless ATMs" it now takes like 15 minutes to make a deposit that used to take 30 seconds. Fuck you BoA.
