OT:
Yeah, and you better stay on your good behavior or I'll make one up about you. <G>

Some years ago I thought this one, which I did not make up, was quite funny; but the older I get the less funny it seems:

Said the octagenarian Sid,
"I declare, I feel spry as a kid;
One's as young as one feels!
I can jump, click my heels,
And not fall on my face." But he did.

My proprietary panic indicator went off at the close. (For the general markets, esp. the financials).

There could be some recovery tomorrow as a result of all the reassuring propaganda that will be spread around, but it may not last long.

I expect to see energy carried down along with any general cascade. The only good place to be is bear funds, assuming that they do not suffer from some unforeseen counterparty bankruptcy. FXY (yen) is not bad, either.
