Ok kids, here are the Asian markets right now

And they are not happy...

Hey Mrs Bachman, you were calling this huey? Just wait for tomorrow morning.

Ed I hate it when they do that

Oh and on edit, remember the night is young... so 1% so far is not that bad...

[flamingdem]

1. Gotta call my broker!

as if! lol

[johnd83]

2. Hmm, that is not promising

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Nope, I SHOULD NOT watch this

but nope, it is not.

[msongs]

3. speculators ought to be dumped in a river full of hungry crocodiles nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Besides the point, this is beyond speculation

if we default it will be all but happy... and FINALLY the markets who thought we could not be this insane... saw that we are.

We call this a panic.

[liberalmuse]

5. The Republicans have permanently damaged this country..

First with Bush II (before that, but for space sake, let's start there), now with this looming threat of default. Even if we don't default, do you think anyone is going to trust the US to be a reliable borrower after the shit the Republicans are pulling? It's already going to take a long time to clean up Bush's mess, but this...this is unforgivable. All we really had left after Bush was our credit rating, and that's already been damaged. This is too much to watch. And of course those who are already suffering or can't afford to suffer will be the first impacted, and if that happens, those who think they're sitting pretty are going to get a kick in the balls.

8. There is a slight bright side

the GOP seems to have splintered tonight.

[Amonester]

7. Black friday (in July)?

The Riche$ Of The World must be frothing at the mouth, as their only concern will be "how Low will we buy" (back).

ManufactuRed... again, again, again, as always.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Yep, but this is panic

as to that... no, not really... actually they warned the children that if they went there there would be challenges... I think some of these children have signed their political death warrant tonight... and more than just that.

Oh and they are frothing... but because the economy was slowly coming out... now there is a dip in front of us.

[Amonester]

10. I say, "again" there is a dip in front of US,

As there is "another" OPPORTUNITY in front of THEM (parasite$).

But, hey. Ain't capitalism GREAT?

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. But here is the problem, they did not want this

that is the point...

They sent smoke signals, even called them names. I mean you know it is bad when the WSJ (quoted by McCain) calls them names.

You see a little problem, and 2008 might be seen that way... is easy to control... a world war, or a major crash (which could lead to some real ugliness) is not.

We are ripe, and I mean world wide, not just the US, ripe for some real ugliness in hard times.

[Jim Warren]

11. Panic?

Nikkei down a 1/2 point, Hang Seng down 3/4 point and a couple smaller markets showing green? Not seeing much panic there.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Night is early as I pointed out

and they are not happy

[Jim Warren]

15. Must be nice, that crystal ball

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. You know, if you don't like it, you don't have to read it

but markets reacting to this was kind of predicted and DISMISSED by the radicals in the House.

You think WS will not react either? If you do, I really want some of what you are smoking, serious.

[Jim Warren]

18. Nor do you need to spread panic

where none yet exists. Sorry if that doesn't fit the scenario you're attempting to conjure.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. I guess I respect the reader more than you do

I gave you a link. People can go see where they are for themselves. I am sorry that giving a link to the actual index causes a panic. That is news to me.

Sorry... good night, have a good evening. Oh and the environment I am not conjuring but pointing to is that the MARKETS ARE REACTING BY GOING DOWN. Or is Yahoo spreading a panic too?

In my view this is the realization that yes, we are that dysfunctional, but to each it's own.

[pauldg0]

24. He is spreading panic....

.....the after markets are hovering right around 0%.

Should we wish a crash just to prove nut ball Bachman wrong?

[RB TexLa]

12. The largest drop is 1.29%, wow.

[rdking647]

17. current markets

japan down .75%. same in hong kong.
down futures 75 lower

I predict if there is no movement towards a deal tomorrow it could be a real ugly day (-200 or more)

either way ive protected myself. Long puts,Long calls on the double short s&p fund against my stock portfolio.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Exactly this reaction is just the begining

Exactly and tonight we might see some panic selling as well.

Should I tune in to CNBC squak box asia?

[rdking647]

23. i find cnbc is better to watch

with the volume OFF. to many repugs on it. but never the less there are ways to protect yourself from a disaster. (I was a commodity trader on the floor for over 20 years
the best advice is prepare but dont panic.

[zappaman]

25. bookmarking for predictions

that I'm sure will be as accurate as your others.

[Jim Warren]

27. Must be a cloudy crystal ball?

A composite of Asian markets finished down about a half % point.

Wonder what's holding the sky up? lol

[toddwv]

21. DJIA Futures nearly as bad...

http://finance.yahoo.com/indices?e=futures

MXX (Mexico) is up 438 (a 1.23% gain)...

http://finance.yahoo.com/intlindices?e=americas

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Ok I will have to remember where Squak box asia

is on my box...

Methinks markets are starting to react...

[Whisp]

26. you have to drop the kid/teacher shit. It's fucking annoying.
