S&P -3.08% – Christ.

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Bad brakes on Toyota Priuses. Sovereign debt worries. Job worries. 24 inches of snow predicted in DC in the next 48 hours. (OK, that last one probably didn’t contribute, but it’s causing me all sorts of heartburn.)

I am not a happy camper.

Nothing opened or sold.
