Bond funds are likely to drop about 2% today. I’ve never seen such a hit on what is supposed to be a “conservative” investment.

A Democrat scandal if I’ve ever seen one.

This is getting kinda silly.

At least the panic phase is happening quickly.

The markets are clearly panicking due to an Obama’s anti-business SOCIALIST policies!

Traders are pricing the market to an Obama administration.

This is bad, really bad stuff for baby-boomers about to retire.

For those of us in the early/middle earning years, assuming we can keep our jobs, this is an unbelievable opportunity to accumulate a huge number of shares.

For every crisis, there is an opportunity.

Just properly welcoming economic socialism to America.

Why is it that the devastating effects of a fiat currency and a central bank is never discussed? None of this is the fault of one particular party, per se, as both parties take from the golden hand and sell our freedom to the highest bidder. If the members of a forum like this are unable to see that reality and fight against it, what of the rest of the Nation?

Good thing that trading stops at 4 PM today.

Of course, the Dow can start all over again on its free fall tomorrow when the market opens....

I thought the bottom would be about 9,000, now it looks more like 7,500. This was a “head and shoulder” decline. But one forgets where the first part of the “head and shoulder” should be located. We seem to getting more and more steps.

Have we lost 25% of the original peak yet? Seems like we should be a little past that.

What all of us need to do is emphasize to everyone we know that all the economic problems America and the World face today is due to the Democrats. It’s their fault, the Republicans bear No Responsibility.

"...markets in free-fall..."

"Free" is hardly an appropriate descriptor.
