Quote from MrDODGE:
They are just completely ignoring the negative news today and trying to act cheery. How many time over the last hour have they said, "the market isn't deterioriating" as their Dow ticker shows otherwise. Why didn't they report on the Dow breaking to new lows as it happened? What happened to their big story on the first IPO in three months? How about GS tanking, GM going under $2, GMAC filing to become a bank, and C falling double digits AGAIN?
I'm not sure what time you were watching, but I flipped it over at the close and you would have thought the world was coming to an end.
