At last we are seeing some sort of panic and negative sentiment...This is of course what is needed to wash this thing out imo. My screens are a sea of red ...of course ...Bottoms always seem to come when I am aghast about how low things have gone... Hard to believe but my streaming ticker is a point or two ahead of the bid and ask shown...Glad I'm not on margin..

Where exactly is this supposed "NASDAQ market site" that idiot Costello yammers from? The CNBC studios? What load of eyewash. At least those awful police shows have the integrity to show a bug at the bottom of the screen reading "dramatization." There is a fundamental lie at the root of CNBC's existence: to push underarm deodorant, dog food, and all the other commercial crap, CNBC stoops to reporting complex market events and issues as if it were a daily football game or sporting contest. To carry forward with the gamemanship approach they promote unemployables like Bob Pisani to guru status and pretend they are announcing the every move of a sentient being known as The Market. It is mug's television, on the same disreputable level of entertainment as Hard Copy.
