interesting that they are nullifying all the trades after a certain per centage drop. tells you who this market is working for. the guys who make the rules can change them retroactively. wouldn't want to see goldman get hurt.

It will take years to resolve the financial mess that socialism has wreaked on Europe. The Greek debt crisis is only the beginning. This will be spreading to other European nations in the coming months and this is going to weigh heavily on world financial markets for a very long time. Be prepared for a long bear market.

I agree, Japan has been fighting high debt and unfavorable demographics since the early 90's. Their only saving grace was that the rest of the world was booming. Europe will have no such luck. There's a very long road ahead.

My second choice would be where you bank because you have a rapport there if anything goes awry.

Last choice would be an online site for beginners. Dick for backup. And before all you seasoned traders blow a valve, this is for someone entering the market.

Farmers who learned the ropes with an FCM and then made the jump to online have a better track record.

my 2 cents ...

All I want to do is cover some aggresive (25bu/ac) forward marketing with an in the money or even something just out of the money call option in case there's a wreck and I have to buy more expensive tones come November. It also gives me upside potential. Nothing that's rocket surgery yet.

I heard last night it might have been triggered by a trader error and software all clicked in to drive the markets down through the floor....

Don't the guys who run the exchanges have systems in place to stop this ridiculous stuff from destroying the trust in our financial systems.

Dow was down over a 1,000 points during the day and there was not real market news?????
