First,let me start frm d general to d specific.D global eco. meltdown resulted due to bad credit and loans.Those u use creditcard as opposed to debitcard made d issuing bank to settle d seller on behalf of d cardholder.D same goes for morgage/Loans.Now those who borrowed are getting bankrupt leading to a credit crunch which affected those big banks including some in nig. For d issue of japol as an example,its d forces of demand & supply that determines the share price on d platform of growth of d company.I am not saying d firm isnt growing but d price of its share is falling cos everybody is holding his money & nobody wants to invest in stock 4 now & as an economic principle,when supply exceeds demand,of course price wil definitely fall & dats wht is happening to d share prices. -ODELI FELIX, 08069471437
