Down another 500

The Dow has reached the depths of 9450 or thereabouts. Maybe one day you can tell your grandchildren about the time when it stood at 14,000+. What's amazing about today is how Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke strongly suggested during a speech that interest rates would be cut again - the kind of news that in other times would move up the markets. Not now. "At this point it just doesn’t seem to be doing it. It’s the attitude of sell regardless of what the news is," Steve Sachs, director of trading at Rydex Investments, told the NYT.
