Don't know about that but my FD scanner has just sent EMT's and police to a suicide call.

Lots of market manipulation going on. DOW now down to ‘just’ 435, from a high of 605.

You know, shop in Obama for Han Solo, Geithner for the Princess and leave Michelle's photo as it is in the co-pilot chair and that would be excellent
