A US/UK joint venture. The countries will become economically inseperable. It could lead to a new currency/single stocks etc etc. Maybe this is the beggining of a new world order where Replica Euro's type circuits are made all over the land so we only have 6 or 7 major rates.

Everyone is scrabbling to buy gold rather than stocks or shares putting golds value through the roof.

Yahoo showing the DJIA at 8668.39



Things are looking up for now. Lets see how the world market will react to GWB.

And as fast as we celebrate the positive, it drops back negative again. That lasted less than a minute. -50 and fluctuating hard. Too volatile...this isn't business as usual.

Could this be the calm before the storm?

According to the presenters on Sky News there are rumours on the trading floor of a possible worldwide stop in trade. Wow! that is huge.

I saw that too and as they were saying it the DOW started going up again. What exactly will it mean if they do a worldwide stop in trade and close all markets?

Yea I think the Dow will lose 600-800 today. We're not anywhere near the bottom, and the VIX is too high with so much uncertainty, it's not looking good.

Doesn't matter if it goes positive, it won't stay positive.

The market is flopping around like the proverbial fish on the riverbank.

Just like that dying critter, the market is gasping for something besides hot air and coming up with nothing but . . . well . . .hot air.

Speaking of which . . . when's Bush babbling?

I would guess it would cause world-wide chaos & cause any consumer confidence that happens to be left to disappear..

Dropping again in the minutes before Bush speaks. Jesus, he doesn't even need to open his mouth and things go south.

I'll say this though...after that horrible start both CNN and CNBC were very quick to get thier experts to come on and say that eveything will be fine, on CNBC one of thier washington experts just said.

"The government will break this fevor by today or early next week and we will see the market balance out"


Now is he talking out his ass? Or could he be right?

We may complain in the coming days, weeks and months, but for sites like this, the hits must be amazing and for the financial sector itself. The future benefits are huge. Im enjoying this immensly. If I was younger I would've gone down this route. ;-)

On a positive note. At least the markets are fluctuating and not free-falling.
