Vix over 70, up 10%. Looks like carnage today.

My Google real-time chart momentarily showed a -1300 point, 14% drop in the DJIA. It came back up to -500 points/5% in a few seconds. I wonder if that was a calculation anomaly or it really dropped that low momentarily.

-345, someone's pumping money in.
Gold and silver down, $USD up. That's not helping the US inflate the debt away.

Let's remember that these point drops are on a smaller base. A 500-point drop today is much bigger than a 500-point drop of a few weeks ago. Easy to overlook this in the excitement.

Shouldn't it get halted, circuit-breaker style or something?
