CNBC said that DOW fell 602 at one point.

Fell to 10,840 at one point. It's currently around 10,950.

You are correct and those printing presses have to be used to do something ... even if printing more money is wrong.

Definately looks like the plunge protection team is trying. But, there was about the same 150 pt range rebound around 11 this morning also, and just like this morning there was one sharp uptick and now it is turning back negative again.

They wanted Obama to come on and mumble the Democrat talking points/blame game and have the market to go up by flooding it with borrowed/printed government money. There won’t be a true market any longer, it’ll all be government money, the private money has fled.

Message to the fascio-stalinists:

You cannot force us to purchase EVERYTHING!

Try to COME and make us.

“Thou shall not steal.” Exodus 20:15

Jumped?? HELL NO!
I sold my PCLN investment last week before Thursday’s crash , and have made a STINKING KILLING today on my shorts!

You just KNEW this was coming, and I think a lot of people bought in to the Democrat/Media “this is no big deal!” spin over the weekend.

At this point, he’d be better off just saying, “It’s not my fault”

"It's not my fault! It's not my fault!"
