funny when the dow was 1000 a 500 drop was alot. in percentage. at 16000 -500 is crap. It was a mear -4% drop. if you have ever owned a stock that is just inter-day trading. the IPOs keep a stock price around 15-30 when the dow is at 16000. that is a penny stock. the crash, i think went from 2600 to 1900 i think. 500 points was a big percentage baby that’s a drop. when we get a drop of 5000 let me know. then sell out of the money puts and chomp your box of tums.
That could happen between now and October.....
Or, stocks could rally. They will probably go up this week, as the article said. But the long term vital signs don't look good, and the patient seems very sick indeed.
