Global Financial Crisis

While Merrill Lynch's(美林证券) fresh takeover by Bank of America was still in our heads, and Fannie Mae(房利美) and Freddie Mac's(房地美)takeover by government was just days ago, Lehman Brothers(雷曼兄弟), the fourth-largest investment bank in the US, filed for bankruptcy protection today, amid a growing global financial crisis.

We are currently in a series of crisis, from war crisis to economics crisis, from human right crisis to environmental crisis. We are now in a mess, a mess that could potentially cripple our life.

When I was reading news about all these takeovers and bankruptcies, my thought naturally flew to our company, a RMT firm targeted to oversea markets. Can we immunize ourselves with all these dooms? Will we grow under global economic crisis? Is it time to plan my next step? Yes, I should be ready at anytime so I will not act like the way Lehman Brothers' employee did today, sadly and awkwardly, leaving office with a cardboard box and a perplexed look.
