You are correct - as is your little TV box. And the Dow plummeted 700 points, too. Whee!!!! It's inching back up a bit now, though.

DOW was down before this vote...no cause and effect yet.

Down on news of the mere possiblity of failure.  Now down over 700.

Seems to have stabilized...I'm not hearing reports of bankers jumping out of windows.

I think people fail to understand:  this is not the U.S. in the 1930's.  More like France, 1789.

It really pisses me off when the Kudlow's of the world tell us why the markets are down...I call BS when I smell it.

Who knows why the markets do what they do?  If you did, you wouldn't be commenting on it on a blog called BooMan, that's for sure.

As soon as it became clear that the bill was going to fail, the Dow dove from about 500 to 700. I watched it happen. Seemed like a cause/effect to me?

Here's a cause and effect:

10:30 DOW down 700+ Perhaps because of a flawed bill

2:30 Bill fails, market rallies to -500

Seems perfectly plausible to me - but who knows?
