If you sold right at the opening you probably saved yourself some serious money. I just checked the price action of some of the financials today.

Then everybody got wise before the market opened. Well, right after the AIG takeover was announced last night he Dow futures spiked to about 130. Then everybody got wise before the market opened.

perhaps, a major factor in the necessity of prompt action?

Despite being eager to buy in CA, you've helped keep me on the sidelines and "in cash & CDs, eating popcorn" since I started following your site in the Spring. FYI For those who still believe in "decoupling," YOY real estate declines in Kazakhstan (home of Borat) -40%, Kyrgyzstan (Where!?) -60%. So far, Moscow prices are holding up, but after their stock market lost 17% yesterday, they just shut it down. It's closed today "for repairs." Keep up the good work, JAllen Mr. M,

Because if the weak are truely weak, they cant get their hands on the resources they need to survive and thus must capitulate to the strong. But the weak had to be weak in the first place. Kinda like the lion going after the lame gazelle. Nature would get the gazelle eventually, but the lion expedites the process for its own purposes.
