Nice to see you back Karl....I actually gained 11.5% since 1/1/07:bowdown

Tomorrow is going to be one for the record books.

Got seatbelt? The futures are down 70 handles right now - that's about 700 DOW points, and they're flirting with "lock limit" (no more trading until 8:30 CT if that happens)

I "loaded the boat" with a measured amount ofPUTs Friday afternoon. Not willing to go "all in".... tempting, but no. Barring something outrageous before the market opens those are winning lotto tickets in the AM.

I don't understand any of that but I can tell you that my 401K is not doing very well....

Futures (S&P, Nasdaq and Russell) just went lock-limit down.

No more trading until the NYSE opens.

The last time they did this was during the 2000 tech explosion.

It is going to be nasty tomorrow. Europe is about to open up down 5+% across the board, and most of the Far East is down 6-12% overnight.

I'm off for some sleep; I'm going to need my wits about me.

I've been trying to warn people.......

LOL..... there are still suckers who believe "The Fed Sets Interest Rates".

Oh boy....... amusing, if it wasn't so damn pathetic.

Today's gonna be fun boyz - strap in!
