In other words, what goes around, comes around. Global schadenfreude toward a stupid and greedy United States and its subprime mortgage meltdown has rapidly become global concern about how to rescue the world from an all-encompassing financial disaster. Here's just a smattering of companies large and small that recently announced lowered outlooks for the year: Under Armour (NYSE: UA), News Corp. (NYSE: NWS), Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX), Vodafone (NYSE: VOD), Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS), ADP (NYSE: ADP), and Hormel (NYSE: HRL). (Yes, in these tough times, even the outlook for Spam is grim.)
Shameful joy? Sounds like catholic love-making which, depending upon how much alcohol was consumed the night before may actually give rise to a little schadenfreude for one one of the participants. (Kenski; HERE)
