500 in One Day

February 27th, 2007 by Senior Editor: Jeff

The Dow Jones IA fell 500 points today.  I hope someone out there bought some puts.  If this continues, you can be sure I’ll be buying a few.  A major blip?  Or sudden jolt to get us going into that recession Greenspan warned us of?

Just a little fact:  P&G was down $3.19 a share today (4.95%), times 3.16 billion shares, and that’s $10,080,400,000 ($10,08 billion) lost today by P&G shareholders. (Disney is down $4.12 billion.)  It’s a dangerous game.
