ON EDIT: It does apear Yahoo is including yesterday's losses in their number (and the opening index is about what it was yesterday AM).

That makes no sense. Why?

1. You're seeing a nightmare in broad-daylight

[succubus.blues]

2. that looks like it's down 1000

to me. damn.

[spinbaby]

3. You're not seeing things

Do they stop trading now?

[tekisui]

4. Yesterday's numbers are included there.

It is down 244 for today.

5. something is not right about that... the wsj

has the same num for the dow but says it's down about 350

6. Pardon the expression, but

Holy shit!

[Newsjock]

7. They're wrong

The number is correct, but not the net change.

[Jackpine Radical]

12. I think they're using yesterday's opening #, not today's.

The total reflects the drop from yesterday morning. It's actually down a couple hundred so far today.

8. That includes yesterday's 678. Google and Yahoo are both screwing up

and it's causing a panic, too.

9. It's at 8251. Didn't it close at 86?? yesterday? n/t

[Cooley Hurd]

10. It's down -224...

I think Yahoo is broken...

11. Dow was just down 10% but look at the Nasdaq and the S&P

massive disconnect between them and the DOW, at least for the moment.

13. wheee. nothing like a good rollercoaster

[Javaman]

14. If it were a roller coaster, I could deal with it, this is more like a dingy in

a category 5 hurricane.

15. They Fixed It Now. n/t
