Sobering thoughts ahead of the holiday - Economic `Armageddon' predicted

An extract from this article to further entice you to follow the link and read the remainder.

Stephen Roach, the chief economist at investment banking giant Morgan Stanley, has a public reputation for being bearish. But you should hear what he's saying in private. ...
His prediction: America has no better than a 10 percent chance of avoiding economic ``armageddon.''
Press were not allowed into the meetings. But the Herald has obtained a copy of Roach's presentation. A stunned source who was at one meeting said, ``it struck me how extreme he was - much more, it seemed to me, than in public.''

Indeed sobering thoughts as we head into the holiday.
