The current economic recession is splitting up and straining more marriages and relationships in America than in eight other major nations, according to a new global survey commissioned by ING DIRECT. More Americans also believe that they will have to work at least ten more years before retiring - more than any other surveyed country. Yet, Americans are the least likely to sacrifice things people in other leading nations are willing to give up like their cars and pets to save money.

A cornerstone of Schwab’s Business Consulting Services platform for independent advisor clients, this year’s study reveals that while advisors are optimistic, they are finding that making time to focus on business development and growth remains a significant challenge amid the current market turmoil and demands from existing clients.

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. issued the following statement today in response to allegations by the Attorney General of New York (NYAG) concerning the company’s sale of Auction Rate Securities (ARS).
The Attorney General’s allegations are without merit. They unfairly lay blame on our company for an illiquid market and improper behavior by the large Wall Street firms that created and then, despite their obligations, stopped supporting Auction Rate Securities.
Schwab did not create the products and had no involvement in the events that led to the collapse of the ARS market, events brought about by the Wall Street underwriters who manufactured, marketed and then simply abandoned their responsibility as lead managers for the auctions.
