    p.s. I'm not bothered about 150 points in one day, but a moderate 1% a day, every day for the next year would suit me :rotfl::rotfl:

    DOW was 1.67% by the way, dropped 50 points near the close - could be down 2,000 points over a full session if it continues at that rate...
  • The FTSE's up 1.68% already --- buy , buy, buy, buy :rotfl:
