Да, а говорят, что рок-н-ролл мертв. Ничего подобного. Вон как народ зажигает :)

The selloff erased $1.25 trillion in market value as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell almost 1,000 points, its biggest intraday loss since 1987, before paring losses.

The Dow average ended the session down 347.8 points, or 3.2 percent, at 10,520.32 at the 4 p.m. close of trading in New York. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index fell as much as 8.6 percent, its biggest plunge since December 2008, before trimming declines to end at 1,128.15, down 3.2 percent. It was the biggest drop since April 20, 2009, for both measures.

"We're just in a big risk sell-off at the moment. Anything with risk is a four letter word. There's nothing specific to Brazil or Mexico."
"A lot of people who had been in carry positions are getting stopped out. At the moment everything with risk associated with it is getting crushed."


It's no longer a fundamental story. We can't talk about value...we're talking about position. And here what you're seeing and I think we've seen it in Europe is simply the pain trade, 'I'm long stocks, get me out at any cost.'"


"Somebody knows something but we sure don't. It's just a meltdown everywhere...no information. On our side we're seeing a bit of buying but it's basically just everyone adjusting their yields lower as stocks are falling."


Вообщем действительно народ стреманули. Кто-то говорит, что в Сити перепутали миллиарды с миллионами в сделке по P&G. Хотя и до падения P&G рынок уже катился в тар тара рам. И в итоге P&G упала не сильнее других лидером стал BoA с 7%. И объем по P&G всего лишь в три раза выше среднего за три месяца :)

Из других чудес:

Trades in Accenture Plc that drove the second-largest technology consulting company’s stock price down more than 99 percent to a penny were canceled by the CBOE Stock Exchange, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

A total of 19 trades of 100 shares each were executed at 1 cent in seven seconds from 2:47 p.m. to 2:48 p.m. in New York, a minute after the Dow average plunged by the most since the market crash of 1987, the data showed.

Eighteen of the trades were executed on the CBOE Stock Exchange and were canceled. The first trade that sent Accenture to a penny was executed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. That transaction has yet to be canceled, the data showed.

Accenture shares closed today at $41.09, down 2.6 percent in New York Stock Exchange composite trading.
