Good morning. The ES (S&P Futures) hit limit down of 60 points a short time ago.
It is shaping up to be an interesting - and somewhat scary - Friday. We still have over four hours until the open. Check back for relevant links.

What does "limit down" mean? The S&P 500 Futures will not trade below 855.20 until the U.S. markets open at 9:30 AM EST (NY time). They can trade above that level, but not below.
8:00AM EST:
Only an hour and a half until the fun begins. I am preparing for some great setups. More links:

An employee of the Korea Stock Exchange works in front of a screen that shows the falling Korean benchmark stock index in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, Oct. 24, 2008. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index plummeted 110.96 points, or 10.6 percent, to finish at 938.75, its lowest close since May 2005.

I'll bet we close green for the day.
Not quite green... but off the lows of the day :-)
I think everyone is foaming at the mouth for a hugh down day, but it won't come. Just a slow drift.
