Call me sadistic, but I picked up some Arch Coal today on a trade
(ACI). Not too much $ invested, but I figured I would pick some up
after it dropped 15% today, with a tight stop at it's prior support.

As for the market, the move from the first 20 mins that I commented
about this morning just kept getting more severe - wow! I sold off
those calls right after I wrote that and I picked up a few SPY puts to
jumpstart my shorts. Maybe reinhardt and his tin foil hat theory could
in fact prove to be correct ;o)

I think there's a good chance the Dow goes flat to negative before the
day is out.
