5. The Nikei is falling and hard

we are now officially in correction territory....

:-)

And this ride is becoming extremely bumpy

By the way, some words from talking heads

Correction... panic, bear market in the same sentence today

One even lambasted derivatives

And another asked if the floor was somewhere close

By the way, the Nickey they pumped in yen to try to staunch the bleeding

It must be hard to be a bull in this market

9. "Lambasted derivatives"?

Sounds slightly tasty. Did the lambasting include a hope that derivatives will soon be outlawed? I have a cousin working on them and I would prefer him to find honest employment.

7. Will it reach 6% and will the central bank infuse even more

trillions

[Bozita]

8. More transfusions from the Fed? IMHO, we'll see 'em before noon.

Seat belts fastened and pulled taut.

We're in really deep shit.

10. I'm trying to look for the spin

and it is piled high and deep

[screembloodymurder]

16. The Nikkei is down because of todays action in the Yen,

A strong Yen means fewer exports. That's why their market went down.
