Permanent Fund Closes Books on First Annual Loss

The Permanent Fund is closing the books on its first annual loss since it was established in 1976.  The $30 billion balance at the end of the fiscal year shows a $6.5 billion drop in value from last year.  The loss reflects the condition of one of the five worst years in the history of US investment markets - dating back more than 200 years.Dave Donaldson, APRN - JuneauDownload Audio (MP3)
