150 points is not a free fall Larry. Don't sit and watch it because it will vary widely all day depending on who bought and sold what. I've seen it drop 150 points in alot less time than that.

Go make some plugs or something the world don't revolve around the stock market and it's not worth sitting worrying about it.

400 points is only a bit over 5%.. thats no free fall. If it droped 20% in a day.. that is a free fall.

When the DOW tumbles like it has every day for a while now, why are they all smiles, cheering, and clapping at the closing bell at the end of the trading day?:huh:

I'd be wary of trying to time the market unless you had a lot of extra scratch to loose.
