Default Anyone else's office freaking out?
Our office is in full on Black Monday mode after the announcement about the US bailout plan. Today is a depressing day to be at work, aside from the usual Monday stuff.

I am so glad I have a fixed rate mortgage. The Finacial post says 5 year mortgage rates have hit just under 9%.

I wonder what everyone's game plans are for riding this out in the US and Europe?

We're just doing a fixed rate refinance and waiting to hear. I'm pulling a LOC from the CIBC as they are really extended into this US mess.

The people on the US forums I'm on seem mainly resigned. Very sad indeed.
