    Some US stockbrokers are saying that DOW may go down 700 points.
    Interesting times I would say...;)

    Good, could be the capitulation day we've been waiting for.
    About time the US market got clobbered, seeing as they started this whole mess.

    The news broke long before the Aussie market closed. Could already have been discounted.
    Could be wishful thinking as well, as we always seem compelled to follow the yanks!

    On a side topic, what I don't get, is why they keep on referring to Merrill Lynch as it was bought by BlackRock last year...?

    What I read was that, because BoA bough Merrill Lynch, Bank of America now owns 50% of BlackRock.
