Don’t look now, but the futures are down significantly..

[busterbrown]

Dow is down 105...Thats a big number for this early in the eve..

Who knows?... this may be the start..

[Junkdrawer]

1. Aren't US Markets closed tomorrow?

[busterbrown]

2. Nope....

[Ellipsis]

7. Bond market n/t

[Cali_Democrat]

3. Actually they're down 87 now and that's only 0.57%

Not down that much.

[busterbrown]

5. I follow futures a lot...I have a small IRA account.

It was down 150 earlier.. Usually there is not this much action this early..
We’ll see...
I’m nervous for everyone....Well almost...

[Cali_Democrat]

9. Yes I do too, but....

If you'll notice what's happened recently when the futures open down, they will grind higher throughout the night on low volume.

I think it's safe to say the market thinks there will be no default.

But markets can be wrong.

Very wrong.

[busterbrown]

12. But all last week the futures were mostly up in the late eve..

I’m nervous... These crazy bastards are cornered like a wild animal...and thats dangerous..

[NuclearDem]

4. Golly gee, maybe those billions the damn bankers and 1% funneled into the Teabaggers

isn't turning out to be such a smart investment, is it?

[dkf]

6. Considering Friday's Dow close was 460 points above Tuesday...

That's not so bad.

Now if we give ALL that back tomorrow that would be more nerve wracking

[busterbrown]

8. I’m on a fixed income...

I got out last week and the dow went up like 400 pts..I tell others, whatever I do.. do the opposite.
Anyway, I hope I’m wrong

[Frustratedlady]

10. I pulled back a couple weeks ago...maybe three,

and I'm up a little with interest, but am feeling better about being where it's safe. A little interest, it's better than nothing. I'll try to ride up when the Pugs quit screwing around with the government.

11. I'm usually out early and get back in too late to take full advantage.

Usually a couple months too early but at least I don't go short! I knew this debt ceiling would be a mess and they are exceeding my expectations in recalcitrance.

If it does go down 400 I will wade back in a bit.

But I wouldn't advise anyone to follow my lead. I know adjusting exposure can be risky and since '08 the Fed is making anyone with a glimmer of market timing ambition pay.

[busterbrown]

14. A couple of months ago there was a substantial drop of about 600 pts..

Couldn’t have cared less... It was about a market push back.. Then it started moving up until the shits started messing with it.. Was almost at 15/5 something? Would have been great if this crap hadn’t begun..

I’m glad I’m out... but no advice here.. I think its a 50/50 chance..

[dkf]

15. But really...wasn't it obvious this is where we would be?

[busterbrown]

16. Not sure what you mean..

If you mean politically... Its a close call wether or not the repubs. would throw us into default..
Still is.. But I think the odds might be pointing to default.. These guys are crazy..

[dkf]

17. I didn't think they would roll over. I still don't.

Therefore I don't know how this ends.

[gopiscrap]

13. oh boy, here we go
