And it is a good time for the terrorists to attack too. To take advantage of a trend, as they did on 9/11. A Judo principle to propel the US into a headlong crash. The chances of an attack tomorrow morning are very high, I would think.

Why waste their personnel when the markets are likely to fall anyway? In fact, it would probably be counter-productive because then the attack could be used as an excuse for the falling markets. Investors might be more tempted to hold on if they thought it was due to an attack, rather than because the market was falling apart for reasons they don't understand. If you look back at 9/11, the markets were falling apart during the preceding weeks. 9/11 gave everyone cover, and we saw everyone fess up to poor earnings and blame it on 9/11.

I hope not. I expect an up and down morning in any event. The big portfolio managers will have to decide to get back in to offset the hedge funds who will be shorting. Who will have the momentum is the question.
