The economic woes are worldwide and across all industries. Just give it time.

[DavidAg02]

Not surprising at all....

Hopefully this won't negatively affect R&D and their schedule for new products. That is probably wishful thinking though.

That sucks, I havent been able to fond steady work for a while. I know its tough.

I think you should try finding a job at a Medical Center... jobs are always steady in the Medical field.

That's a shame. Panasonic is one of the best electronics manufacturers out there. My brother-in-law recently got a 50" Panasonic plasma, and I might get a Panasonic display in the future.

Oh.. i see that's why i been waiting 2 F****** month for my AE3000 and IAM STILL HAVEN'T GOT IT...

[Mannyfresh84]

I haven't let this troubling economy affect my BD purchases. Even though it probably should. Nothing is secure anymore.

[FendersRule]

Panasonic is the best Plasma Manufacturer IMO.

Nearly every huge corporation is doing some kind of employment reduction this year. Not too much of a surprise. I hope it helps keep Panasonic profitable, because they make some excellent TVs, Blu-ray players, and the best DJ turntables in the world.

and I just found out I need a new SS BOARD for my 800U

Almost all. Those involved in gold mining are doing OK. In the past few weeks I've seen three secondary placements for miners that trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and another for a bullion holding closed-end ETF.
