Has anybody noticed the U.S. stock market decline?

Just wait for the markets to open this morning. On the news of China's 8.5% crash, I will be surprised if western markets stay stable.

This is what you get with a boom brought on by credit expansion.

The Dow is already down 500 pts so far. It's going to fall more when it opens here!

Holy crap....It's down 600 now.

Maybe US was late in its interest payments to china, yes I been sarcastic, xuenchen in todays markets fixing and electronic control, if our markets fall we will never know.

We are in the age of the Panic Button.

I am glued to Fox Business Network right now. The Dow continues to fall and is now at -705! What's going to happen when the market opens here?

well the biggest fall of 777pt was 7 years ago right? in one day. is the -705 in one day? or is this since friday?

China stock market is dropping like a rock it seems and that is in turn causing panic in our own. With all that is going on over there now I don't see it pulling up from the nose dive unless the fudge some numbers. Which just might make things worse anyways.

Maybe not all at once but it will recover. Not too long ago it drooped 300 points and came back next market day.

$100 USD says so. Any takers?

I'll take that bet, if it's still going?

One day. The markets just opened here so we will see what happens. But it's spooky, for sure.

You think so? There are people saying that the weekend may allow for cooler heads to prevail and to stop selling recklessly. They are saying not to focus so much on the start of the day, but where the market closes. So I guess we'll know by the end of the day today if we should worry or not.

Wall Street to open on edge after selloff

But Luschini also believes the Saturday and Sunday break could allow for investors to hit pause on the sell button.

"The weekend is probably a good thing, letting investors catch their breath a little bit, rather than selling first and asking questions later, which seemed to be feeding off itself Friday," says Luschini

"I suspect there are investors looking around over the weekend saying, 'Hey some bargains have been created,' " he says.

Yet, Luschini warns that if Monday opens to steep selling, like triple digits, it will be a long week.

Regardless of what happens early Monday, , Gibbs advises paying attention to where the markets trade at the close.

"Anybody who's been in the market forever know it's the end the of day trading that's more important," says Gibbs. "If we close closer to the top of the trading range for the day, rather than near the lows like on Friday's close, that often is an indicator for the near term that we've exhausted the selling and the market will bounce a little bit."

Have they done that before? I know September 11 closed it and a glitch closed it last month but, I mean, to close down from a free-fall like that?
