    Today was the biggest one day drop in History. Didn't know that.

    After 9/11, the stock market tanked for about 18 months. People who invested heavily during that period are even STILL ahead despite the market taking a beating the last 6 months or so.

    When everybody else panics, BUY, when everybody else is talking about how great everything is, SELL.

    If you live by that (its hard because its scary) you could be the next Warren Buffett.

    Who is this Jesus that everyone keeps mentioning? This man sounds extremely dangerous. He must be placed on the terrorist watch list.

    777? Those are some lucky numbers.

    When everyone is scared ****less it's time to make some money.

    In terms of numbers not in terms of percentages. Still sucks.

    Also the biggest loss in terms of money lost. Never before in history has a trillion dollars been wiped out within a few hours. It's no use really trying to compare this to previous stock market crashes because this situation is pretty much unprecedented. The world we live in today is very different from the world of 1987 or the world of 1929. By the time Asia and Europe are done shedding blood, we will be looking at some mind-boggling losses.

    Money lost... only because it's a bigger pie... but not a bigger percentage.

    Again, either way, it's not a good day.


    But the money makers are about to make mucho bucks again.
