Global markets are getting smoked again.
Dow futures are down 315 points, S&P 500 futures are down 40 points, and Nasdaq futures are down 93 points.
It's a bloodbath in Europe, with Britain's FTSE, Germany's DAX, France's CAC 40, and Spain's IBEX all down by more than 2%.
Asian markets closed deep in the red, with Japan's Nikkei plunging 3.8%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng falling 2.2%, and China's Shanghai Composite tumbling 1.3%.

So SSA has sky high birthrates and Europe is somehow obligated to take in the surplus populations of 300 million on up? That’s ridiculous.
But many of the current refugees are Arabs from Syria etc who take ships from Libya to Europe. Evil stupid Obama and Hillary and his evil stupid State Department created this problem by trying to get rid of Assad in Syria. They deposed Muammar Gaddafi which turned Libya into pure chaos and a place for Arabs and African blacks to get on rusty old scows headed to Europe
I would take in Arab Christian refugees and no one else.
Forget March. September coming in like a lion.
There seems to be some support around 16,000 but that may be weak support. Last week it broke below 16,000 but recovered shortly after.
With DOW still above 16,000, we have to hope at least that this is the bottom and that it will be at 16,000 and higher by the end of this week. Now we’re at -416 with the VIX at 31.94.
I’m glad I missed a good portion of it. He startled me so bad I was up for several hours afterward.
Might be a good time to put in buy orders for apple, power shares qqq, and amazon for tomorrow.
Are you serious or making fun?
Thank goodness! It certainly does line up. Need to get ready, but running out of time.
Wondering what actions I should take on behalf of my elderly parents. Feeling that panicky chicken-no-head pressure I had in 2008, but maybe nothing will happen.
