Friday AM, DJIA/S&P/Nasdaq futures limit down.

Friday 350PM E DJIA at -167. 4PM E at -312. Volume at almost
pre Holiday levels.

Friday Evening Futures Limit Down. Where they are today.

The only question left is how many times the US can pull this trick.

I suspect they will not be able to hold it up much longer. The nasdaq composite closed friday at a new closing low and hit a new intraday low. The IBD mutual fund index also closed at a new low. If things really get scary the bigger question may be what size mattress do we need for our money?
