I agree. Thanks for doing that research.

The tax was not intended to include the wooden arrows hence the original bill exempting wooden arrows. This addition to the legislation extended that exemption.

eta: Oops. Should've read further down since obviously Alex already answered this.

Markets plunging AGAIN? WTF?

Ghoulish Delight · 10-06-2008, 02:05 PM

Hardly surprising. Even with a theoretical perfectly handled bailout, the market's going to have to drop. It's been way over inflated.

They had a 'live feed' of the stock market ticker on during the news today- superimposed over the rest of the news next to their logo.

It was horrific seeing the number go deeper and deeper, while the reporter was covering a 6 person murder/suicide in Porter Ranch - apparently because the family was having financial problems.

Yes, but now Europe's going down too. Which I suppose is also not surprising since many of the major shareholding operations operate in other world markets.

Well, if the euro goes down then maybe I can finally afford a trip to Europe! Oh wait.. the dollar = 0

US Dollar has been gaining recently. It's now @ .74 c€nts ( € = $1.35 ).
Earlier it weakened against the Japanese ¥en.
