What to look forward to in 2009

This new year is already a month old and people have started to discuss what type of year it will be. Well, economically this year looks to be worse than 2008. Many major stores and companies are looking to close. I was reading an article in Yahoo Finance by Rick Newman who lists several potential companies that may collapse in 2009:

1. Rite Aid- This friendly drug store could disappear from the street corners.
   
2. Claire's Stores - A terrible event for teenage girls everywhere
   
3. Chrysler - Its bad when a motor company is going under
4. Six Flags - I hope not, I really enjoy theme parks
5. Blockbuster - Im not sure why this has not gone under already with the popularity of Netflicks
   
6. Krispy Kreme - I love these doughnuts and this would be a crime to humanity
   
7. Sirius Satellite Radio - Whats not to like about radio without the commercials
   

With companies failing left and right and people losing their jobs it is tough for people to find stability and faith in our economy. However, as bad as things might get we still need to look on the bright side and invest in our economy or things will never get better.
