Bankruptcy Predicted to rise in 2008
Electronics and energy are seen as high-risk industries.
More U.S. businesses are likely to hang " going bankrupt " signs on their doors this year as the twin blows of slower economic growth and pricy cmmmodities force the weakest companies to seek refuge from creditors, according to Global Insight.
This year, industries at risk for the biggest increases in Chapter 11 filings include electronics makers, enery miners like coal companies and agriculture companies, Global Insight said.
Makers of durable goods like machinery also are more at risk and likely will contribute to 13 percent rise in bankruptcies in 2008, says the research firm.

SOCIAL SECURITY!!!
HERE'S HOW TO KEEP TABS.
To determine your likely Social Security benefits- and to make sure your Social Security records are correct- you should contact the Social Security Administration, (800) 772-1213 or www.ssa.gov on the internet. Request form SSA-7004 and use it to obtain, by mail, your Personal Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement, which will tell you how much you've paid in and will estimate how much you can expect to receive in bebefits after retirement. If you find a mistake in your earnings, report it promptly.
