In light of today's events, where do you see the economy heading? I say pear shaped (bad). If this attack happened 24 hours earlier then it would be banana shaped (very bad). Yesterday the FTSE100 fell below 5000 for the 1st time in 3 years.

P.S. Apples and Cherries are good. So are Plums. Pears are just funny

They will 'freeze' the market so everything will be ok. I am sure they have a 'backup' stock market.. I hope


Another plane just crashed in Pittsburg -- don't know where in Pitt.. also Fighter planes are flying cover over Washington.

Well, I certainly don't hope that the economic market is gonna collapse. I think they've got a back-up. Would have been smart anyway

The Stock Exchange is located very near the WTC right around the block I think. It will take several days to get the Disaster Recovery plans into motion and then the exchange will come back up (in a day or two I would think)

What will happen at first when the exchange opens up is a bunch of paniced investors will sell and make a run on the bank, then the smarter calmer people SHOULD have a field day buying at record lows....Rick Edleman posted this here in DC as what he thought would happen to the market.
