I believe we've been in a recession for several months now.  It's only
now that most people are beginning to accept it.  A few more weeks and
it will be officially announced.  By then, we should be at or near a
bottom.

arsh, sorry for the loss.  I don't think you should be too quick to
cut your losses, as most people quickly suggest.  You don't lose money
until you sell.  Hold off until the financials rally again.
