All markets are tanking, worldwide!
Asia just had its (and I quote) WORST DAY SINCE THE FIRST TRADING DAY AFTER 9/11 last night.
The US markets are continuing their plunge -- normally after a day (or MAYBE two) of downward movement, you have "bargain hunters" step in and start buying. But we're in something MUCH bigger than your average "ups and downs" of the market.
We're in the beginning of a major collapse.
P.S. The dollar is TEMPORARILY rallying, because so many people are selling stocks (good & bad) and getting cash (US dollars) for them -- which creates demand for dollars (hence why the Dollar is going up in value) But it will crash too, all too soon.
Gold just lost $16 in a couple hours! It's pretty cheap now -- if anyone has some "rainy day" money sitting around, I'd advise putting it somewhere safe, like physical gold (or silver, which is much cheaper)
