I reckon the Dow (and the FTSE100) are down about 35% on a month ago.

After 9/11 they both fell about 10%.

In 2008 the Dow dropped about 40% in a month, and about 50% in 6 months.

Just imagine - given the complete ineptitude at top levels - this may be just the beginning. That's the scary part. Our "just in time" economy getting destroyed by a supply chain disruption that doesn't respond to monetary policy changes.
