The circuit breakers according to the stock exchange are as follows:

Level 1: 1,100 point(10%) drop in the DJIA before 2:00pm will halt trading for one hour - for 30 minutes if between 2:00-2:30pm - and have no effect if at 2:00pm or later unless there is a level 2 halt.

Level 2: 2,200 point(20%) drop in the DJIA before 1:00pm will halt trading for two hours - for one hour if between 1:00-2:00pm - and for the remainder of the day if at 2:00pm or later.

Level 3: 3,350 point(30%) drop will halt trading for the remainder of the day regardless of when the decline occurs.

We may see these circuit breakers as early as Friday Oct 10, 2008
and even more likely next week. The DOW could close semi-permanently
and if that happens the banks, insurance companies, others are in trouble.

Within a week we could start a MAJOR DEPRESSION.

The Russian Stock Market closed several times recently:

well that's good news, at least we know we'll survive through next week...

It'd be a shame if we were all locked up when old Ashtar shows up Tuesday to wave his magic wand and make everything all right...
