Will this be Black Friday? - 10/10/08

Holy Moses!

What the heck is happening! +300 then back down to earth?

Down to +35...is this the dropoff everyone was predicting around 15 mintues to close?

The sell orders are coming in. We are dropping like a rock!

I just saw the boards and it just reads "sell" across the boards. NOT good.

down 160

Crap -100!!!!!! This for real?

CNBC showed the board briefly before commercial - SELLs across the board.

Crap. -163 now and falling fast.

MANIPULATION!!!

now its negative again.

But what's going to happen if nothing comes out of g7?
The stocks will drop even faster than they rose.

Is there an economist in the house?

Looks like I spoke too soon. Red arrows again. Down, down, down. Talk about a rollercoaster ride!

And there is the RED again... wow... wow... just wow... omg

PPT FAilS!!!

Here we go!!!!




The death blow is being delivered.


Sic Semper Tyrannis!!!

Dow is down 16. This market would make any sane person sick to the stomach.

I recently heard someone say "The nation has lost a generation of investors."

Whomever said that was right.

Uh-oh... I think I just freaked out google by clicking 'refresh' too much:

We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

Something is very wrong here. Rocketed back up to +4, down to -4, up to +1. This isn't right.

It's gotta be shorts covering.... no other way to explain this incredible nonsense


AB1

you have got to be kidding me, what a wild ride. I am literally flailing my arms around right now

-130 as I right this

It looks like some very clever and very well-monied people have just engineered an absolutely monster killing.

How much does a 500-plus point change in 20 minutes amount to? Half a trillion dollars?

ADD: Dow -5.... No, wait a second, +70... Oh, I give up. This is beyond crazy. This is googleplex levels of crazy above anything I've ever seen...
