That’s nothing.

Overnight, the futures were down well over 500 points. They’re the reason for the gap down — the market was already selling off in the index futures markets all night before the NYSE boys decided to show up for work.

500 points in 5 minutes is still a lot. I hope that does not trigger a mass sell off. I guess the market will shut down if it does.
