Stock Market Tumbled 500 points at One Time Today

[Marshal Murat]

Some people asked me when I told them this info. "Is this going to be the Great Depression?"

To me this seemed silly, the U.S. would step in before such a happening.
Right?

Does this even qualify as a crash ? There`s virtually nothing in the papers about it and the only stock I know something of only went down 3%, after having gained 6% earlier this week.

It's not even close to a real crash, but everyone is really ignorant to the fact. When something drops '500 points' they think it's bad, unless they know that the drop of points was out of like 10000.
