Predict 5 Businesses Who Will Go Out of Business in 2010
(Out of business = go bankrupt, get bought out, liquidate themselves, etc.)

Here are my predictions...
1. Chrysler
2. Sears/K-mart
3. Sprint
4. Office Depot
5. Toys-R-Us

HAS to be one of the worst and most uneducated lists ive ever seen.

Let's see your educated list

**Gaulkin** · 12-25-2009 07:25 PM

I never claimed to have one, but if i did make one it wouldn't be anything close to that. Your first chose was already bought out earlier this year.

If my list is so weak, you should be able to do better verry easily.

btw Chrysler was bought by Cerberus in May 2007 & I think they are in financial trouble

Pick 5 banks.

Name names. I did.
100 US banks failed in 2009. Chances are 70-80 will fail in 2010.

I am going to have to disagree on all of your selections.

Here are mine:

--Borders (The are already shuttering their WaldenBooks division.) Borders is a stagnant company, dead in the water.

--Blockbuster Video (Won't disappear as a brand, but the brick-and mortar part will slowly die in favor if the kiosk model popularized by RedBox.)

--One of the major cell phone manufacturers will either get out of the business or be acquired - not sure which though...Motorola perhaps? or Palm?

All I have for now is these 3...
