That 900 point gain on monday is gone with the wind, as the dow hit it's biggest percentage one day drop since 1987. I know that the 777 point drop was somehow bigger but the market is down by about a thousand points and more and thus the lower it goes the less it take to get a higher percentage drop.
This wasn't caused by the credit crisis, no. This was cause by the recession and the fact that Bush's policies are finally bearing fruit. I've a feeling that giant whipsaw swings of hundreds, if not thousands of points are going to take place in the coming weeks. Even though it helps Obama, this is BAD.
Use this as a place to bitch about your investments.
