If the store closes, the gift cards would be no good. Here are some of the announced closings. Of course these companies would love you to give them money for a gift card that would be no good later on. Perhaps some home made jam or a $5 bill would be safer, since once a store declares bankruptcy they don't have to honor their gift cards.
STORE CLOSINGS AND LAYOFFS: By the end of Dec. 2008 as announced
Circuit City Filed Bankruptcy, they promised to keep all stores open for the holiday season, but afterwards, they plan on closing 155 stores nationwide.

WaMu operations sold to J.P. Morgan today, September 25th, 2008, at 6:00PM
WaMu, the largest bank in U.S. that could not keep it up anymore in this tought economical times, sold its assets to J.P. Morgan in a bid controlled by FDIC.
J.P. Morgan Chase bought the bulk of Washington Mutual’s banking operations Thursday in a deal orchestrated by federal regulators who had seized control of the troubled thrift based in Seattle, WA.
WaMu’s shares plunged to 45 cents in after-hours trading Thursday as reports of the company’s acquisition began circulating through the media. The stock was worth $1.69 at the close of trading Thursday. The 52-week high for WaMu shares was $36.47.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) will pay $1.9 billion to the FDIC to acquire WaMu’s deposits, branches and a loan portfolio valued at $176 billion. The acquisition doesn’t include some assets and liabilities, which would remain in the holding company, Washington Mutual Inc. (NYSE: WM)
Those with WaMu loans should continue making their payments, as their agreements are still in force acording to FDIC advisors. As for interest rates, JPMorgan Chase will review those rates for WaMu customers starting Friday.
Washington Mutual began life as Washington National Building Loan and Investment Association in 1889, the year of the Great Seattle Fire, and is one of Washington state’s oldest companies.

EBAY vs. AMZN, ADP vs Paychex ?
Let's be a little more interactive here! Please use comments to express your point.
EBAY vs. Amazon AMZN. Which one is better?
Read this article for some hints: http://sramanamitra.com/2007/12/06/ebay-vs-amazon-which-is-a-better-company/
ADP vs. Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX). Which one is better?
In my opinion, ADP is heading from 45 to 51 while PAYX is heading from 41 to 46.

Hi everyone!
I remember Jim Cramer saying 1 year ago "Buy 1 share of Sears (SHLD) and you'll be happy!".
Damn he was right! But only 1 share!
If you bought more, like i did, you'll be pretty sad!
I can't belive went under $100 today... And you know that rule... "What reaches $80 will soon or later reach $100"?
Now i wonder if there is a rule of "What reaches $100 on its way down will reach $80 sooner or later."? (remember my words! and i am still a holder...)

On another hand, I salute Mastercard MA that got back into $200 area and I hope NYX will continue to climb little by little.
