down 900+ points, thats more than 10%!
DOW futures down 200+ already. this is going to be an ugly friday perhaps. although historically this week, days where futures were down overnight by hundreds of points had large rallies during the day. i dont think that trend will continue though, the weekend is a loooong time to be holding onto your plummeting investments anymore.
this is sick.
Just saw that myself
This may prove to be a very dismal Friday for those in the stock market. What just happened? It went back to the 9th. Did they suspend trading? That was really weird. Now it is back, but I refreshed 4 times before and it went back to the 9th figure.
