Here it is ladies and gentlemen, one of the most headlined subjects in this year's media, located between Wall Street and Exchange Place, the New York Stock Exchange.
Behind this enormous and ironic display of American patriotism, lies the world's largest stock exchange by dollar volume, and in recent times has been on an intense roller coaster ride, at one point plummeting to the lowest value in over 70 years.
Now, we are in what is referred to as a "Global Financial Crisis."
The sidewalks are filled with bustling New Yorkers on their lunch breaks, barely taking notice of the abnormally large flag hanging above their heads. They hurry back to their jobs, some worried about being laid off, others living paycheck to paycheck.
Fact - National unemployment hit 10.2 percent last month, and a recent study shows that employed people are actually more stressed out than those who are unemployed.
Lucky me?
