what's happening to the world is going to last a long time yet I read today the yanks were asking for the Stockmarket to be closed not sure if that can happen? but for all the small struggling ASX comps , that require funding to exist , ones that haven't posted a profit in the last 18months , why can't the ASX allow them to go into a voluntary Trade halt for 6 months , these companies need to streamline there operations, lay staff off , directors should take a k a week wages , they should save their companies and whatever reserves they have , think what the world may be like in six months, there definitely won't be the funding like there has been in the last year so these bottom of the line ASX comps need help I think most have dropped 50% and why should they still get there fat pay checks , draining the coffers shareholder value surely must be the priority
