When will this end?

15 Companies That Could Meet Their Demise in 2009

Big named businesses began declaring bankruptcy in 2008, and we'd be foolishly optimistic to think the buck stopped in the new year. While it may not make sense to pay any attention to predictions, it's always good to stay in tune with what's happening in our economy and the types of companies on this list say a lot about the bigger picture. Using data from sources such as Moody's Investors Service, US News compiled a list of 15 companies it believes will look much different by the end of 2009. Would you be sad to see any of them go?


  1. Rite Aid
  2. Claire's Stores
  3. Chrysler
  4. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group
  5. Realogy Corp.
  6. Station Casinos
  7. Loehmann's Capital Corp.
  8. Sbarro
  9. Six Flags
  10. Blockbuster
  11. Krispy Kreme
  12. Landry's Restaurants
  13. Sirius Satellite Radio
  14. Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings

I believe it will be not only Chrysler - the whole automotive industry will be different at the end of 2009. GMC, Saab, Opel...all these brands having troubles (ehm, because they are connected...). I don§t know how much do you care about cars, but for me, it will be loss :)
Take care
