    There were some nice short set-ups this morning...if only there wasn't a ban in effect.

    So, since there is a ban...why are these stocks falling?

    I hate the SEC and the Government.

  3. They want people out of the market, maybe they need volume to dry up.

  6. This is " " I can't even think of a word to describe my feelings right now. I have talked to a few prop firms this morning and they are sitting on their thumbs. They're making a little cash but this is just painful to watch.

  7. It would be much better to just close the exchanges for a few days. I could use the vacation after last week.

  10. The same thing happened in 1932. The market went much lower. You might want to consider opening a futures account if you don't already have one.

    You may have to blow this pic up if it's hard to read.
