I would tend to agree with Kevin's comments. Unfortunately I feel that 2009 is going to be a wash...negative but realistic in my opinion. With that said, however, it will still be important to solidify current business relationships and create new partnerships as 2010 will hopefully be a turning point in the financial markets and you need to be ready for the rebirth of the economy.
Greg, I don't feel this is a resession any more. I feel this has progressed into the beginnings of our second depression. I know that sounds negative but it was after talking to booth after booth at the Boston Show I came to realize how bad things really are. Our industry has always been the bellweather for the US economy. The latest stats from the government showed a graph with job losses from the last two major recessions compaired to the losses from this downturn already. This one is off the charts. This is a depression IMHO.
