So far, as of this moment, down 410 points to 25,111. I'll be surprised if it recovers all that by this afternoon.

It sure looks to me like this may be IT - - the crash we have all been expecting for so long.

You can take these two things to the bank, as the saying goes.
I would be way too scared to trade today! And for me, that is a good thing because market timing equals disaster, for me. I'll just sit and watch, thankyouverymuch. Pass the popcorn.

Hopefully #2 will turn out to be true as well.

Down some wouldn't surprise me, though. Down big would surprise me, as there really isn't a whole lot of reasons - if you ask me - for two big down days in a row. I think the last time we had that was in the depths of 2008/9 with big financial institutions going under.
Well color me surprised. Refund checks to those who paid for my prognostication skills are in the mail.
