Germany was off 6% today, MM. No BK there ... yet. Joe did post. They are off over 20% from their high earlier in the year, I think.

Haven't checked the FTSE, but you ought to take a gander at the world markets on YHOO. I think this is kind of a widespread thing.

Heck you could have dipped Brazil down over 10% at one point back up to -3.x%. There's you some quick dough!

<<Did Joe post those two today? I don't recall seeing them. >>

Hey man, tomorrow, before you start on the beer again, go back and re-read my posts [and that's an order!]

A rough calculation gives -3.2% for world market cap today - about minus US$1,000 Bil. Peanuts - just enough to buy all MSFT, BRKa, GE, CCI, TRV, PFE, MRK, and thro in POS1.
