The "up-to-the-minute Market Data" thread

Somebody is liquidating there portfolio.....
lets see if they can come back up if we don't open in such bad territory. The same thing was going on Friday and they came back up after we opened in a better position. (Due to the news coming in I doubt it though)

And here we go! Where the heck is Hx3!!!

You can actually hear screaming on the floor and it's only been open for four minutes! I'm going to stand by my prediction (used loosley remember) about what would happen if we dip below 7k. It's happened so let's watch.

-132.22

Okay, the screaming has died down a bit but it gave me a bit of a panic. Too much coffee for me! Hold on to your hats everyone, your shiny pretty tin foil hats. omg, we may actually have to make our hats out of tin foil before too much longer ::nervous laughter::

Oh yes, let's not get into fear mongering no matter what the day holds ::holds side laughing::

Remember our resident ATS experts say to keep your eye on the S&P that's a better baramoter. Just heard on CNBC that the 700 mark is critical here....were only 20 points above that now.

Edit: add S&P info

2 year protection contracts for the S&P at 15K? WTF in 07 they were like $6,500. This is not looking very pleasant. I should have stayed in bed.

Something tells me its going to get a lot worse once the foreign markets close.
I hear ya about the tin foil, got mine packed in the back of the cupboard!

Wonder what the chances are concerning whether or not some countries are pulling there monies out of others today?

[edit on 2-3-2009 by xoxo stacie]

I think I'll start packing a bug out bag in between hitting refresh on this thread and the ticker. This is just crazy. I am holfing my gold coins in my lap as I type. How many people walking around today even know what the DOW and S&P are? Probably a small percentage. But the ones who don't know can definately fill you in on the finalists on Dancing With the Stars. This stinks! I can easily see a sell off today.

reply to post by xoxo stacie
Ya know I was thinking along similar lines...
Eastern Markets are ~5% down...

Guess we'll see about the post Eastern Market link soon enough...some will start closing soon...

reply to post by elston


I really wouldn't freak out to much just yet. I think we would need to see the S&P drop below 700 and stay there before we start getting overly worried. I can understand alot of the fear over the free falls, but there is still a ways to go yet. It can dive today and take at least a week before it hits main street.

reply to post by xoxo stacie
True enough...

S&P 500 INDEX,RTH 710.28 11:49am ET -24.81 (-3.38%)
still got 10.28 points to "play with"...

reply to post by Hx3_1963


Well I am actually basing it on past performances that I have been watching . It would seem that we hold up when they are falling pretty hard and once they close we loose an average of 150+ on the points side directly after they close.

This is a little worrisome....

Key European stock index edges close to life low

The FTSEurofirst 300 .FTEU3 index of top shares provisionally closed 4.9 percent lower at 683.84 points -- the lowest close in six years and within 3 points of a lifetime low of 681.17 points hit in March 2003.
The index has fallen 14 percent so far this year after plunging 45 percent in 2008 on the back of a financial crisis that began with U.S. mortgage defaults in 2007 and has cast much of the world into a deep and vicious recession.

Well the European markets have closed down between 3 and 5%.

The S&P is hanging in at 706.75 - not far to below 700. Just seems to keep going down.

Glad we gave GM and Chrysler billions. Looks like they won't be able to pay US back.

Well if my theory holds true we should see a shed of 150+ points collectively in the next 30-45 minutes. I really hope I am wrong because that could be proof positive that someone is manipulating the markets as a whole.
