Is it safe to open a window on Wall Street?

I think they nailed them closed in 1927.

512+ point crash in the market, the second largest in history...get out your Presidential knee pads.

Q: Did Clinton's total lack of integrity cause the August 31st stock market crash?

A: If it didn't play a major role in the crash, it was, at the very least, a factor.

Q: Did Clinton's flight from the country, like a deposed dictator, cause the stock market crash?

A: Clinton is following the Nixon model, " when in trouble, travel ". His escape had to be a major factor.

Q: Will Clinton's meeting with Yelsin help or hurt our own economic situation?

A: The meeting of two despots, can never bring any good. If he pledges more of our money to prop the failing Russian economy up, it will really be " brown trousers time "! If he only engages in cushy photo-ops, we may just experience another major series of drops in the Dow. Hey, maybe he could buy their nukes from them?

Q: Should Clinton come back ( or turn back ), or would Clinton's return help the situation?

A: I don't know, but his resignation undoubtedly would!

Q: Is the market going to continue its free-fall?

A: We shall see. The technology stocks were hit the hardest on August 31st. NASDAQ lost 140+ points, for the biggest point drop in its history .

Don't start looking for the cyanide tablets or your Walther PPK, yet. I hope, beyond all hope, that by the date of this opinion article, tomorrow morning, that the stock market has miraculously rebounded ( at least a bit ).
