Dow plummets record 777 as financial rescue fails

biz.yahoo.com

The failure of the bailout package in Congress literally dropped jaws on Wall Street and triggered a historic selloff -- including a terrifying decline of nearly 500 points in mere minutes as the vote took place, the closest thing to panic the stock market has seen in years.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost 777 points Monday, its biggest single-day fall ever, easily beating the 684 points it lost on the first day of trading after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

That isn't the same article. But meh.. who cares trash the thread if it makes you happy.

Now it's being reported as a 778 point loss(not 777). What the....?? Did they change it deliberately to avoid any talk of an occultic/numerology connection?

Yeah I also thought the "777" was weird. What's up with that?

It's called "rounding" the actual loss was 777.68 points, which is closer to 778 than 777.

How dare you insert logic in this discussion! Sir you should be banned!

Sounds logical, but why was it widely reported first as 777? The reports of 778 didn't come until later in the evening. Are we to believe that just about every source worldwide reported it incorrectly?

Been discussing this on this thread earlier today.

What you guys are missing is that 777.68 isn't rounded up to 778 it's barely missing 5' 7's. Everybody knows what 3 7's & 5 7's means in Vegas - JACKPOT!
