Mercy! What a close!

However, being the ever-optimist, I prefer to look at the bright side of things. Get your party hats ready. Another DOW 10,000 party may be on the way.

Nasdaq Index Futures sold off another 19 points in the extended futures trading session. 147.25 points total.

Good News: S&P 500 futures only sold off an additional 5 points in the extended session. Optimists like me can always find something to cheer about.

Today's Recap

Obama Saves 100 Dow Points

I am pleased to report that I am not the only one who looks on the bright side. InstaPundit comments ...

"Dow Finishes Down 634 Points. Obama’s speech certainly did nothing to slow the drop, though I suppose the White House will argue that it would have been 734 without the speech, meaning that Obama saved or created 100 Dow points . . . ."
