6. That's what happened yesterday in the stock market

Not the futures.

7. It has futures at the top of the column.

Very misleading and poor design.

5. Refresh your browser ;)

8. 600 is around 2% of the Dow

Not good, but not a big crash.

10. Use the CME website for U.S. equity futures.

11. The Dow number is frozen on that CNN link, for some reason

I normally use that link also. But tonight the S&P and Nasdaq numbers are shifting around normally while the Dow number is stuck at -572. That is causing the confusion.

There would never be that great of a disparity...S&P projected .15% lower and Dow 2.07% lower. Those two indexes run more or less parallel.

12. Here is a link to Bloomberg's Market Futures

https://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks/futures

Shows -42

It's easy to get confused checking these Futures charts because prior to futures markets opening they reflect the previous day's activity.

13. And the Dow closed up 140 points today.

So much for the futures crashing.

14. Yeah.... kinda like

Yeah.... kinda like "am I the only one who thinks everyone's over-reacting to Covid 19? It's just a bad flu and no one seems to be getting it around here!"

It's fun to pretend, but science and economics always will out.

16. For reasons I've never understood,

people here love to cheer whenever there's even a small drop in the Dow, and constantly predict a total and utter collapse of the market.

Even that dramatic sell off last March didn't last very long.

15. It really does no good checking the dow like some of you do. It's not

Tanking anytime soon
