Analysts: Boston's financial district should weather storm

Play video

(NECN: Scot Yount) - From financial advisors to the average investor, the situation on Wall Street has a lot of people rattled. In Boston's financial district the news that Congress hadn't passed the bailout bill was inplausible to some.

"It's congressmen findling while Rome burns, and Rome is burning".

As the markets dropped over 770 points, investors scrambled. A kind of an economic tremor in the tallest buildings in the city. Boston's financial sector is very nervous, but analysts are confident it will weather the storm.

NECN's Scot Yount spent the evening taking the pulse of Boston's financial district.
