Unless you're on DU and apparently it indicates the end of Time and Space. I cannot count the number of threads started in the last few weeks that had to do with really non-material market movements.

But it means nothing.

The market opening 100 down, or closing 350 down today is like it opening 13 pts down and closing 46 pts down in the mid 80s.

It's less than 3 % all around and it's not earth shattering.

Now if it was like the selloff of '07, that's trouble. This is nothing.
