Dow Struggling to Get Back over 24,000 Today

[MineralMan]

After a weak bounce in early trading, the DJIA slumped back below the 24K level and is bouncing around just under that mark in late morning trades.

It's unclear which direction will take hold this afternoon.

Bears make money.
Only pigs get slaughtered.

10. Yikes! I just checked again.

The slope of that curve is not promising at all. In fact, it looks like we may be in for another 1000 point slide before the weekend. That's going to scare the crap out of a lot of people, I'm sure.

Again: I have no expertise in equities trading. I'm just a watcher, with no funds at risk. Others, however, are impacted heavily by such changes.
