Where will the DJIA close on Friday, October 10, 2008?

Settled as DJIA will close between 8,400.01 and 8,500.00

DJIA closed at 8451.19

Background:

Monday was down 370
Tuesday about 500
and then comes Wednesday...190 points down!

Who expected what happened on Thursday...down another 678 points after a morning where it was actually going up?

And now we've dropped below 9,000 and 8,000 isn't unrealistic.

Does anyone have any money left to buy anything out there?

Market suspends 1 hour prior to closing

According to what i'm seeing (bbc confirm) since the president's speech there is a plateau- i predict it will close around 8300-8500's. DEFINATELY NOT below 8000!

I don't think 43 can re-instill that much confidence.

Now THAT was interesting. 30 minutes before the close, and the market is settling in around 8100 - and suddenly it takes off like a rocket. Anyone see some news to explain that? Is someone "BIG" trying to settle the market before the weekend?

Was it 43 or G7 that halted the dive?
