Exactly.
I've given up on watching - I've made a few visits this week to our trading desk and they look fairly glum but, this is out of our individual control.

Re: Dow down below 8000 at 9:37am
Time to close the markets & take a break...this is fear & hysteria now driving it down
Enough with the non-stop use of the word crisis.
This IS the law of attraction at work. all of us are focused on the terrible things happening-we are attracting more of the same!!!
We need to stop watching, stop talking about it & the gov needs to close the markets for two days.

Re: Dow down below 8000 at 9:37am
I've been coming into work and some of my co-workers are so scared they are actually having panic attacks here.
My dh keeps telling me that we will ride this out.
I won't say I'm not scared but just taking one day at a time.

One thing is for certain...somebody's going to make out like a bandit when the market goes back up eventually.

Interesting, I think the market will dip well below 7000 before we truly hit bottom... but my DH thinks I'm insane. (I'm speaking generally this year, not in terms of today. They'd stop trading before we dipped below 7000 today.)
I agree with Kelly that this is mainly driven by fear and hysteria and people just need to calm down. Walk away from the 24-hour news channels...

My DH thrives on gloom & doom - he's in the security industry and is very aware of everything going on in the world - drives me bananas.

Re: Dow roller coaster today!
I think that the press is not helping at all - they are throwing people in a panic and panic creates panic. They need to tone it down slightly so people aren't storming to the banks to take out their money.
