DOW Thread for the day

[ghengis86]

Opened and in free fall

-521

 

[Bruno]

-660

steadily dropping no end in sight. Bush speaks soon. "Fear is running wild" fox news

 

[mcgraw_wv]

We are 900 points away from a 50% loss in value in a year and a day... 366 days is all it took to uncover the fake overinflated wealth of this country... 50% loss in 366 days...

 

[JasonC]

dow was below 8000 at one point.

 

[rockjoa]

Big Charts says -400, yahoo says -1000. Is it being manipulated?

n/m glitch on yahoo calculation

 

[reduen]

I,ve seen it down 900 so far... What the crap is going on here, our government said that the bailout (sorry, rescue package..) would prevent this crap.

You mean they lied...?

 

[EvilNight]

The computer systems doing reporting on most sites (Google, Yahoo etc) are having a hard time keeping up with the chaos. That's why the numbers keep jumping all over the place.

 

[jaumen]

I noticed some conflicts yesterday, I think the sites just sometimes taking a bit to catch up. but yeah, bloomberg shows that it dropped to about 7900 before shooting back up a bit. Sadly, I imagine it will be like the rest of this week, and it will get progressively lower throughout the day (with the occasional shoot upwards)

 

[ghengis86]

back up to -254

how can you say that, the government is always looking out for our best interests, and when i say our best interests i mean theirs.

 

[rockjoa]

PPT activated?

 

[reduen]

It is official, yahoo is messed up.... The market is really around 8300. Does anyone concure on this?

 

[ghengis86]

even if the PPT is actively at work, their actions have an increasingly little effect. if they've been at work at all this week where the dow lost ~2000pts, they either suck, or their efforts do not work. either way then, they are worthless (like i needed to say that...)

 

[parke]

Holy shit.

 

[reduen]

Boy am I glad that I did not take the advice of my investment dude. I would have been crushed the past couple of days.

I mean to say here that even the experts are scratching their heads on what to do now...

 

[ShowMeLiberty]

Yes. MSNBC and Google both showing around 8300.

 

[nobody's_hero]

I think when Bush speaks to the nation in a little bit, confidence in the market will be restored and we'll see the DOW shoot back up above 10,000 points.




And, we'll also see every soldier in Iraq returned home by the end of the day.




And, we will finally catch bin Laden.

(nyse.com is showing no change at the moment, I think traders broke the graph)

Most of them have a pretty good idea how the system works. Few if any have much idea what to make of the system when it fails.

 

[thomaspaine23]

I'd guess we may be having a bank holiday all week next week....
(Instead of just Monday)

 

[Aratus]

the low was 7882 and they say its now at 8,358 --- is this a bottom? was this a bottom?
