2009: Recovery or ???
Wednesday, October 1, 2008 * 12 noon—2 pm

2007 saw the mortgage world turned on its head by the sub-prime loan debacle.
2008 opened with $100 per barrel oil, gloomy leading economic indicators and falling stocks
followed by the collapse of several major financial institutions.
Will we see a turnaround in 2009?
