WHOA Dow Futures down -355! Thanks a lot Bernanke!

only information i could find was from 2008. guess the limit is 550 or 6%

[link to www.ibj.com]

"Ahead of the market's open, Dow Jones industrial average futures fell the maximum allowed limit of 550, or 6.27 percent, to 8,224. That triggered circuit breakers that automatically freeze selling until the market's 9:30 a.m. open. However, traders can still buy stocks and send the market higher. Selling eased slightly later in the morning, leaving Dow futures 548 points lower."

Wby does this bother fu?

This market is not for novices. Trying to trade it will be like trying to catch a falling knife. There will be blood everywhere.

Essentially the trading is sideways. Almost impossible to time the swings. jmo

Are you sure futures are down 355? Or is the DJIA down 355?

Or course I saw the DJIA down around 311 and S&P futures down around 27 or so for 09/21.

Wheat closed at 666.60 down 8 handles. More interesting correlation.
