DOW, NASDAQ Tumble At Open

[StageLeft]

JeSUS, 493 points down, TSE down only 25 Not that you people care.

493 has to be the biggest drop in a long long time, even if it doesn't close that low but I bet it will.

Rambus is up $0.32 at this moment though. :disgust:

CNBC reporting the DOW down 572 to 9032. They'll only let it go to 10% losses before they halt trading.

 

[iamwiz82]

its about ready to fall through 600.

 

[Yzzim]

10% would be over 900 points. That's damn low.

 

[GTaudiophile]

DOW now down 613. NASDAQ stablizing around down 95-100.

 

[iamwiz82]

well, it just blew through 600

 

[Yzzim]

The NASDAQ seems to have stabilized. but the Dow continues to fall. Check the list of biggest losers so far today, it's all airlines and travel sites.

Are all of the DOW companies trading yet?

 

[AmbitV]

wow without the rate cut we would probably be looking at 1000+ points loss on the dow

 

[SJ]

That is understandable though. Airlines have lost billions and will likely need a government bailout to stay afloat...

<< isnt that depressing? >>


Greatly. I believe the greatest loss in history is 618 points. Don't know why but that sticks out in my head.

Down 568 now

 

[iamwiz82]

i think the people who had money in the airlines, etc, will put them into other markets, and the dow will go up abit. Look at Nokia, up almost 6%

 

[ShadowHunter]

Time for me to pick up some Cisco! That company isn't going anywhere for a while.



<< CSCO CISCO SYSTEMS 13.72 -0.75 -5.18% >>

<< Look at Nokia, up almost 6% >>



Maybe that's because of how the cell phones saved lives?

 

[GTaudiophile]

DOW appears to be stablizing: 508.72
NASDAQ: 83.26

Priceline.com at $2/share

[BigSmooth]

Stabilized for a while there, but it's falling again: Dow is off 670 points, almost 7%.

 

[Balt]

Remember people, the dow may be down 711 points, but percentage-wise there have been MUCH WORSE drops in the past.
