Nearly 7% on the Dow. S&P off 8.75% and the NASDAQ 9.14% !
Still, I've seen worse.
Bloomberg are saying that the amount wiped off shares was about 50% larger than the size of the bail-out package.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

George Bush sees the tax payer as a nice little bonus payer for his mates.
-see the Iraq 'rebuilding' contracts
-see the credit crunch bailout (or attempt to swindle the taxpayer once again)The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

), he did give the taxpayer a nice "bonus" to try and get the economy going. Anyone see Gordy with his hand in his pocket??
No no, instead we get free nursery places for 2 year olds. Brilliant.Comment
