The article "High Anxiety For Textron Investors" by Melinda Peer, is about the business Textron's dropping stock. Textron is a business specializing in industrial tools such as vehicles for transportation (private jets, golf carts etc.). Many of the products sold by Textron I would consider to be luxuries. As the economy takes its toll on big businesses such as Chrysler and General Motors these companies can not afford their normal luxuries such as private jets. To try to help out President Obama even offered awards and bonuses to those companies that purchased new private jets. I found it very interesting that CEO's of huge companies such as General Motors are now flying on regular commercial jets just because its cheaper. It is a prime example about how all business are connected in the economy no matter how unrelated they might seem.
