Okay, I guess this would represent a tradeable bottom. And I have no doubt the rest of the world will find a way to blame it all on the United States. Or SUVs, cell phones, eating red meat, etc., etc.:
Experts warn of 'black wave' that could sweep universe and end life

The earth is at risk from the universe suddenly turning "inside-out", causing human life to be extinguished at the speed of light, experts said yesterday.
Dr Benjamin Allanach, from the particle physics laboratory at CERN in Geneva, warned of the prospect of a "black wave" sweeping over the world.
"The universe would suddenly and spontaneously swap from its present state into one where the electric force would turn off, and it would all become dark," he said.
The switch would be from our present state to one predicted in the theory of "supersymmetry", which states that every normal matter particle has a heavier counterpart.
It is theoretically possible that, at any point in the vacuum of the universe, such a swap could happen and spread like a rip in the fabric of matter, swapping every particle to its heavier counterpart and sucking up energy.
