This is really a stupid question, but I do not know the answer.

Was checking out CNN and decided to see what the DIJA was, it is after closing time at the NYSE, so I assumed the DOW would be "accurate" on the CNN website since it said the time was 4:03pm EST.

So I go to figuring out when I'll be running this weekend....I decide to double check the DOW and wouldn't you know it, it has changed....

So here is my dumb question.....when do you know what the closing number is? I figured the poor guys at the NYSE had to finish crunching numbers to figure out the final outcome hence why it changed even though it is after close there.....anyone??

Feeling Stupid Regards,

EE and RFTN's web site both post the applicable Dow on their sites every week.

 

[Howard N]

Most of the websites post 20 minutes delay for Stock quotes.

Day trading regards,

WRC says the DOW for this weekend is 24.

[Howard N]

Ai yai yai, I made a mistake! It is 24. I was looking at the change from yesterday. It's down 416.02 from yesterday. Closed today at 12216.24.

Sorry, my bad.

...so I assumed....

There you go...! :wink:

I generally check at about 4:30p just to be sure I get the right number....and both EE and WRC have the numbers as well, as has been posted.

In 1988, a DOW drop like this had people jumping out of windows regards,

The news reports last night indicated a market correction was in order. I didn't expect to see this large a correction.

 

[Franco]

Possibly a correction in the market that was overdue but still with the Dow over 12,000 indicates a zooming economy! Just got to watch inflation because prices are still going up. May be time for another rate hike from the Feds.

May be time for another rate hike from the Feds.

Booty, how much crack are you smoking in that boudin doobie you are rolling?

The Chinese started the sell off last night which rolled over to europe then to the US. Add to that the 7.8% drop in durable goods announced today and that isnt looking like a whole lot of inflation to me. This has been a cost led recovery which means that corporations make money but they do it at the expense of cutting costs, ie. cutting jobs. Did you not hear what Bernake said at his last congressional testimony, that he thinks the economy may be slowing down? The most important part of that was the fact that he has never said that before during his short tenure as Fed Chair.

Cyclically we have been overdue for a sell off. What scares me is the fact that the Chinese led it....want to talk about a HUGE case of the Asian Flu?

By the way, I am not just some idiot that spouting off with opinions....I put these ideas on the line everyday trading bonds and I get a ton of REAL info that isnt in the press from pros doing the same everyday in bonds and stocks.

Dig a little hole the next time you are at the spillway and bury that idea of a Fed rate hike. :lol:

PS. The rout is continuing so far in Asia right now.

Dig a little hole the next time you are at the spillway and bury that idea of a Fed rate hike. :lol:

That wouldn't be the only thing buried out there.

I'm sure that place has more grave sites than a cemetary. :shock:

 

[Richard Halstead]

I jumped out the window three times once when the DOW dropped 300pts, again when it was down 400, and the final time when it dropped 500. It was the third time I realized I was on the ground floor.

 

[Gerard Rozas]

Got to remember that the Chinese market was up 100% for 2006.
And most of the money in the Chinese market is leveraged money - so once things start to slide downhill - and the margin calls start coming - things get bad in a hurry.

Wished I would have sold all my stock on Monday and bought a bar near wall street.

I thought I heard on the news that Greenspan made a comment about a ressession and next thing I see is the stocks falling.
