    Did the Fed step in about 3pm when the DOW plunged to 24,000 — the Plunge Protection Team

    Or don’t they do things like that now?

    They do, at 7% drop, but the Dow only dropped about 5% so they did not hit it according to the NYSE head dude on CNBC.

    I haven’t been following the news channels so not sure if this has been discussed but from my sums, it looks like the Dow hit a correction of 10% from recent highs in the midst of the capitulation moment.

    I think that’s quite significant as it had supposedly been over 900 days since the last correction?

    Might help us find a bottom or mean nothing at all.

    I would extend some mortgages or realise assets before taking margin calls-not that I would ever let myself get near that possibility.
    I am looking forward to some cheap buys

    good way to spend Waitangi day - watching the closing bell on channel 91. Going to be a rough day on Asian Markets. Maybe lucky we are close today to see what happens in the next 24hrs although futures look negative again. I'm guessing a 10% correction on the Dow from its high last week.

    From my experiences the best part of market corrections / collapses is when one realises jeez the markets down 50% from it highs and you congratulate yourself on essentially being out of the market before the peak

    Some on here been through several big corrections / collapses but I have a feeling this could be new territory for many on Sharetrader

    But then again we could be back at new highs in March
