Holy Crap !!! - Asian Markets Are Reacting To Today's Bad News...

Last night was weird...

I've never seen CNBC on in Prime Time (ON A SUNDAY) for an event that hadn't taken place yet, ie. the news on Sunday about Lehman Brothers.

Yet there the whole CNBC crew was, trying to impart their best guesses onto what this mess really meant.

And one intrepid analyst at one point mentioned the fact that they could not count on the Asian markets as to what was gonna happen, because there was some public holiday that had a number of Asian markets closed.

Not so today...
