Will it hit -500 within 30 minutes? Will the circuit breakers hit to halt trading?

Yes, that flat line is the true graphic. Check any of the financial web sites - they’re all showing the same flat line. What’s going on? Is the volume too heavy?

the stock market (and guys like Kramer and hedge funders, etc) is irrational in the short term...the markets want a socialistic takeover? does it not care about the long term? 99% of my assets are in the stock market and I do not want the bailout.

When Black Friday comes
I’ll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor

When Black Friday comes
I’ll collect everything I’m owed
And before my friends find out
I’ll be on the road

When Black Friday falls you know it’s got to be
Don’t let it fall on me

When Black Friday comes
I’ll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book

Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos

When Black Friday comes I’ll be on that hill
You know I will

When Black Friday comes
I’m gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it ‘til
I satisfy my soul

Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop’s gonna sanctify me
And if he don’t come across
I’m gonna let it roll

When Black Friday comes
I’m gonna stake my claim
I’ll guess I’ll change my name

It’s not so much a bail out of Wall Street as a bailout of Congress.

Works for me! Let it free-fall. We need to lose 5,000 points to equal The Great Depression...someone isn’t trying hard enough! Keep the panic going! Urge people to jump off of high buildings or shoot themselves.

Yeesh.

Gold: UP +11.80 for $887.60/oz.

Silver: UP +.11 cents for $13.30/oz.

Mama like! : )

Looks like the markets are waiting to see what happens in Congress. Hardly Black Friday at this point.
