[USER=50018]@Newt[/USER] the graph posted above "time taken to fall 10%" sums up the current situation nicely putting this week into perspective confirming this pattern (fall) is different to most others as this fall has happened so quickly.

WTF - what's going on?
That's an acronym for (Way To Funny) - The Pre-Market Trading (futures contracts) below has put a "smile on my dial" (go figure) - what are we to think? It's an important point that most may not be aware of: "The Dow was down nearly 1,086 points on Friday before closing down -357 points", nice late recovery. Again, what are we to make of this?
