In the meantime, anyone who attempts to argue that we're at the bottom or things are turning is highly suspect. </p>MarkMon, 15 Dec 2008 21:45:09 -0000http://reiboldt.com/?p=281#comment-4419508<p>I like how you point out the continual need to reference a bottom to the market. If confidence was restored in investors and consumers, a lot of the problem would correct itself.</p>Banking InvestorMon, 15 Dec 2008 20:09:22 -0000
