And Obama's only been president for less than an hour! Can you imagine if it continues dropping at this rate for the next four years!

Edited to reflect continuing free-fall. This thread was originally kind of a joke, but damn.

I'm no math whiz, but can the DOW go lower than zero?

Actually that sounds both miserable and sad.

I have a reputation for not treating kindly people like Rex who try to link daily market movements with particular people or events, but I have to say I'm at least a tad surprised that it's down this much.

If the plunge protection team is anything other than folklore, it'll be out in force tomorrow. Plus, I just bought some SDS so I'm sure the market will now commence to rocket higher.

Nothing surprising

What's surprising is the stupidity of your statement.
