Something big must have just happened. The bottom just fell out of the market.
Edit: Ah, the Fed decided not to lower interest rates.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
Luckily I'm still in the early phase of buying. I don't mind my bonds' losses of the past weeks as long as all the stocks go up again, at some point. Better keep them low for some years whilst I buy and go up really strong in 40 years, yes please

My company's stock is up significantly today. Huzzah for that. The rest... eek. AIG down some more. Failure would be ugly, I imagine.

Based on your location, the business you're in, and your posts on its stock prices the last couple of days, I suspect we may have the same employer.

Does that explain why treasuries' yield is also up?
Bloomberg is now reporting the Fed is considering helping AIG after all.

I lump the Bloomberg report in with the earlier CNBC report.

Treasuries are up because of rampant fear driven by unparralled uncertainty.
