Anyone watching CNN? Apparently some guy went postal in a daytrading office a few minutes ago..

Just for the record, when I said if tomorrow was a bloodbath in the markets I was going to go to my local schwab branch with a 6 pack, popcorn, and a chair, to watch the panic, this was NOT the sort of thing I was hoping for! :(

Will people be jumping out of buildings soon on wall street?

If the nightly news tonight makes the connection between this psycho and crashing stocks, it could become a self fufulling prophecy because people will think "Is it really getting that bad??"

There is margin in the market (around $200 billion) -- but many of the net investors had their play money chopped. It was not me who said they were margined. I said AMZN was leveraged.
