Good Morning Margaret and thread-Gonna get ugly today!! From briefing.com:

08:35 ET Stock Indications: International markets in retreat following the election of opposition leader Kim in South Korea. Traders and analysts are concerned that he will not go through with the current IMF bailout proposal. Not helping matters was another major bankruptcy in Japan. Overnight, S. Korea lost 5.1%, Japan -5.24%, and Hong Kong -3.24%. Current level on the S&P futures indicates a sharp decline here at the open, possibly as many as 100 pts on the Dow. Traders should brace for volatility as positions are covered on this triple-witching Friday.

Good Evening Margaret.
Thank you for the cheery words. I am gladI was out all day and did not watch the market go down almost 300 pts
I am in this for the long haul,had my turn at being scared out of market and it cost me dearly
Slow and steady wins the race.
