chaosmachine Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 some fun graphs. pretty much everything was down 20% in a matter of minutes. but it seems to be recovering, sort of. next few days should be interesting. http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=^DJI&t=1d http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=AAPL&t=1d http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDCAD=X&t=1d rip europe? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/stock-markets-plummet/article1559170/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Did the dip coincide with who won the British election (dunno if they announced it yet; just speculating since polls were supposed to close around 10PM GMT, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Doesn't close for another hour or so and won't be decided until after midnight, so it's probably not related. Depending on what the outcome is there may be another move in 3+ hours. I wonder what was said at 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosmachine Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 this may or may not have been the trigger, but it's interesting. http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NYSE:ACN http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=ACN&t=1d one minute it was $40, the next it was literally selling for a penny. someone fucked up.

Guest Drahken Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 My AF investments have been tanking the last couple of days pretty hard too, losing about a dollar a share every day. Its fun to watch how quickly you lose (or gain) money but I'm young enough to not be all that concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Piers Morgan just made a very good point on the BBC's coverage. It's safe to say that we're kicking out the two most experienced economic minds in Britain, a day before this new American shit-storm starts, and a week before the repercussions of Greece are truly felt. Greece's problems began when they suddenly realised that their books were wrong and they actually far more fucked than they thought. Something similar could very easily happen in the next 10 days in Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the bankers In return bet on the finacial downfall of the countries that's how you get interest when you put your money in the bank. how did you think it was made?
