U.S. stock futures tumbled Monday as part of a global market sell-off centered around U.S. recession fears. Japan’s Nikkei 225 plunged 12% in its worst day since the 1987 Black Monday crash for Wall Street.
Here’s where U.S. stock market futures stand at the moment:
* Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 633 points or 1.6% following a 611-point loss on Friday.
* S&P 500 futures are down 2.6% after the benchmark lost 1.8% on Friday.
* Nasdaq-100 futures lost 4% as big tech stocks got hit hard in early trading.

I’m sure Heels Up will find a way to spin a crashing market to her advantage and the media will go along for the ride.
Futures down -1100. Hold on tight folks. Haven’t got a call from my investor yet. Luckily just took 10,000 out and put in bank three weeks ago.
I'll make do until sometime in the future.
Hope I still have a job by the end of the year.
Time to go into serious lockdown mode on spending.
I can see it now. “ Stock market, is a market, but you don’t buy food there.”
Dang,I missed the boat.
