dow dropping 250 pts 1 min after opening

In case anyone is wondering, the DOW finished down 508.39 points to close at 9,447.11. This is roughly a 5 year low for the DJI.

In other news Nasdaq is down 108.08 to close at 1,754.88 and the S&P is down 60.66 points to close at 996.23.

Not the best day for the American Markets. I hope Europe and Asia do better tonight.

Thanks for the update on the US markets. It didn't look too bad earlier in the day so I was a bit surprised.

10-9-08

The dow this morning is at 9,177.02 -81.08 / -0.88% with a low so far today of 9,045.76

I wonder if we will hit below 8000 today? Their is a large possibility this will happen if this trend continues. Any thoughts?

That's an inside internet joke btw.

Well people after the big gain the dow had it looks like it's on its way back down again -78 and falling
