not sure how to play this. There's the safe way, all cash, but no money to be made in cash! Buying a 300 plus point down open looks awfully tempting....

However my own opinion is that this is just the beginning of the meltfown (the real one), but whether it will happen now or not I just don't know...

If you want to trade the drop (buy intraday) then your number for today is DOW at minus 320. This is the pre-market low adjusted for fair value. To trade long you'd want to wait for an intraday test of that level.

ramigabal, I'd start over with all cash. You'll have to be really aggressive to recover the portfolio. Time to try day-trading, man!

day trading now is a good way to recover.. or just lose all that left :)
You think stepping into POT or MOS may gain some profits today? looks like nothing left to make a profit

Thinking about short MER cause it's not down on the day due to BAC aquisition, but the aquisition is in stock, so if BAC tanks so will MER
