Crude oil and gold at all time highs, US manufacturing at 5 year low, feel like buying some security?

2008-03-03 11:11:29 by HASH0x8b2f8e0 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...budgets tighten, IT and security are going to take their share of hits. I tend to believe the second camp. Security budgets are always being squeezed even in good times, I can't help but think they will take a bigger hit in bad times.
