Has anybody else been watching the Dow? This really IS going to be a bumpy ride.
Started off being down 111 points and has been all over the place. For a minute there, it was only down 8 pts. Now it is something like 22 pts. Yesterday I told myself I would stay calm and wouldn't worry as long as it stayed under a 500 pt loss. It squeaked past my 'no panic' line. Today I have arbitrarily picked 10 pts. As long as it stays below being down 100 pts, I am going to stay calm.
