Added $ 888 saving for October 2009.
This September marks the anniversary of Lehman Brothers collapsed - a 150 years old instituition went under water. How could that possible? It was an important date to be remembered in the Financial History - Sept 15, 2008. That day was mother of worldwide financial melt down and panics. Let's pretend today is Sept 15, 2008, what would you do for the next 180 days after reading this chronology?
