If things continue this way, St. Pats day will be remembered as the crash day. Hope for better but with the Asian markets down 2-5%, it is hard to imagine a good day tomorrow.

There you go again. Three percent is, well, 3%. Given your losses, I hope you’re not near any open windows above three stories.

It’s a bit easier to imagine a good day tomorrow if you’re one of those nutty gold bugs.

You think that the Asian markets being down 2-3% and Gold up 3% is going to mean a major crash? Ha!

If there was going to be a crash, the Asian markets would be down many times what they are now.
