He must be talking about futures and stuff. It was just the way he worded it made it sound so much more dire.

That was 15130. Currently at 15161. What has happened today is that the gains made on Friday (+111) were given up again.

A hundred points here or there are daily swings. If it drops by about 500 points or more people will need diapers. But, even a 10 percent drop would mean 1500 points...

It's not the triple digits you have to worry about, it's the quadruple digits. Now, that would be troubling.
