Look for retailers, already wobbly, to get pummeled in their upcoming quarterlies as even the mini-bounce turns into a falling feline. From Zero Hedge, we get even MORE bad news out of autos with Ford (NYS: F) admitting it has no idea where the bottom is. Yikes.Economic problems in Europe starting to cause social unrest, as the ugly scenario of economics bleeding into politics looks more likely. General Electric (NYS: GE) FINALY cuts its dividend as the dividend downsizing parade continues. More doom and gloom to come next week. Have a great weekend, folks!
