Corporate Bankruptcies... rolling count of American companies going "BELLY -UP" 2008

[Sandra]

My job is based on keeping commercial buildings running (commercial HVAC). Looks like I'll lose my job in a few months when the rolling mall closures come.

My husband does the same. They had to switch to some residential to keep very busy.

Big filing hitting the wires. Not sure how many they employ,

Holy cow, I just saw this,

according to the court filing. LyondellBasell is saddled with $26 billion in debt. Its largest lenders include Merrill Lynch & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc.

It never ends. I hope Goldman holds the largest share.

Apparently all things are not Equal.
