What does that correspond to in DOW terms?

Dow should roughly be in the upper 7000 range today.

You think we will lose 2k+ on the DOW in a day? I *highly* doubt it will be that bad. I hope I am not wrong, but if I am a very painful short term would be preferable to a less painful drawn out deal.

I dont know if we can lose that much in a day. I believe market closes at -20% but I dont know what that equates to points wise.

buy when they start jumping out of the windows in Wall St. Traders committing suicide is normally a good indicator that we have hit rock bottom

Hmm... finance.google.com has 9738 listed as the day's low and it's currently back up 150 since that point.

Thanks, I know its 20% of X, but I mean I dont know how X is figured. Is it simply what the market opened at? Is it some average of some period of time (Say last weeks average) or is it some high mark for some period of time, such as figured from the high of the past 3 months etc etc.

I know there is a market close point but I dont know the specifics of it enough. Regardless, I know it'd be a bloodbath of a day if we hit it.

Sometimes I forget that dates and times loose all meaning when you're swimming in the flow of time.

Goodbye NBC and a whole lot of America

Like I said way back almost 2 years ago this crash will make 1929 look like a walk in the park.

Ah and there it is. Dave "predicted" it all.

I vote we make a "Dave's law" to go along with Godwin's law...

Dave's law: As an Anandtech P&N discussion grows longer, the probability of Dave saying he predicted it or America will collapse approaches one.

LMAO

Heard on the radio this morning a guy voting for McCain because Obama perfectly answers questions and it scares him.

People who love themselves don't require an economy to be happy. People used to be happy as farmers you know. When did you become so materialistic Moonie? Why do money and things mean so much to you? Perhaps it's your self hate trying to mask itself in worldly goods.

Damn... Russia's (RTS) stock index was down nearly 20% on Monday. Hope the Dow does not do the same.

Back down -500

100 point swings for first half of the day.

Your sig speaks volumes about how "educated" you are....

"David McOwen - The most educated American on the internet"

Proof? I'd bet Palin is more educated than you are, and she's pretty low on my "educated" scale as of late....

Haha no, I haven't.

Perhaps not you in particular, but people like you have been blaring "BUY BUY BUY" since the talk of the credit crunch started last year (just search through any stock market thread).

It's not time yet. When the market gets down around 8,000, then it will be time.
