    I've got a bet on that the plunge protection team will not let the Dow go below 10K today. I'm in grave danger of losing this one.

    YOU ARE FRAKING ME!!!!!!!!!

    It was 9999 at the bell, but bouncing around just over 10k as the last trades get counted.
    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.

              It was only a sort of office bet. All I lot was a little bit of pride.

              But look! Low of the day was 9998.03 FFS and there was a massive volume spike at the close and it settled over 10K. Rather proves my point.
