If Ben does not drop interest rates before open on Tuesday, he needs to be taking out and shot (not literally). I can't believe that Ben has sat on his hands this long. Our economy is not healthy enough to survive both a housing collapse and a stock market collapse at the same time.

DOW futures all already down 360 now. Asian markets are in a tailspin today, off 6% on average. Not pretty.

If only. Dow futures closed today (11:30am for the holiday) down 520 points, and the S&P futures down 4.8%. We will very likely exceed the post-9/11 Dow drop of 678 points tomorrow morning. How it closes is anybody's guess. Bernake will be waiting, 1.0% rate cut in hand, for the proper time to unleash it, at which point the markets should spike. What they do afterwards will be critical for our near future.
