Yes, the graph relating to the above shows an inverted pyramid. Doh!

Look at all the "N/A"'s in this link. It looks like the information just wasn't put into the system this morning, so it defaulted.

It's a crash. Don't have all the details yet.

So.... did it crash or did it not crash? Was it just a web site glitch?

JoseMiami,
It was just a glitch, sorry if my tongue-in-check answer confused anyone.

Yahoo's major world indice shows Egypt is up 0.01%

Robert,
Well, they could...
But, the odds...
Naa, your right.
(I hope...)

It's not the odds, it's the STAKES.

I think it would be a pretty safe bet to say THAT would make anyone a dipster - I think they should have three kinds of markets:Bull - Bear - Bungee
-99.85 would definitely be a Bungee market....whooo!
