Title: Predict the loss - Dow expected to have record fall
Post by: Brian Fein on October 24, 2008, 09:49:20 am
The NYSE is expected to have a record bad day today based on futures markets and international markets' overnight performance.

Now's your chance to get in on the fun!

Predict how much you think the market will fall today!  We're talking Dow Jones here, so vote smart.

I'll put my vote in at -850.

in 23 minutes after market open its already down 359.  I might have to adjust my prediction.

I say around 500 overall.  People will start bargain hunting after an initial drop.

But only if they're both Real Pro-America Americans.

its 2 PM and the Dow is down 427 so far. 

Let's see if we can get a late-day push to close under 8G's!

Hrrrmmm..... You don't sound like a Real Pro-America American... I think we might need to call Bachman on you.

Only 427??  Not as bad a fall as we thought.

Hey fyo, call Bachman on Hoodie right now.   I think he's sounding just as Un-American as Brian now, if not worse.

Market closed at -312.  Not nearly as bad as we all thought.
