It will be interesting to see what the foreign markets do tonight.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A spine-chilling slide of nearly 1,000 points in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, its biggest intraday points drop ever, led to heightened calls for a crackdown on computer-driven high-frequency trading.

Yup it was one guy pushing a B rather than an M that did it.
Yesiree Bob.

I agree. I have to admit I am in somewhat of a quandary watching the markets though. If find myself almost wishing for a big crash, so Obama would have to take the blame.

I actually try to stay away from situations like this. I don’t like rooting for something very negative to afflict our nation.
