I'm wondering if they may intervene and close the markets down early if this persists.

btw, just to state the obvious: This is not yet "the meltdown" that everyone keeps talking about. The full brunt of that - if it happens - is still to come.

something i overlooked and failed to mention in the point by point thread.

point 7. after the failure, capital goods spending and large puchase spending tanks. destroying the automotive and large scale manufacturing industry. money dries up, people cannot afford home based production goods. companies like GE, stratton, samsung,sony, IBM, texas instruments, maytag, etc all lose demand and increase layoffs to stay alive due to the union labor contracts that refuse to lower pay to ensure more employment. global unemployment skyrockets, demand for manufactured goods dives.

What should we expect?

Expect another wave of bank failings, followed by a big wave of corporate/company failings as businesses get cut off from their financing. Maybe the Dow will get whacked back to like 7-8K over the period of a few months. Then expect a downturn in production, widespread deflation, decreased wages, and much higher unemployment. Other signs to look for include: (1) your bank being run on despite FDIC protection - and then waiting for weeks to months instead of days to get your cash back from the government; (2) your credit cards being shut off; (3) school/car loans being called in, (4) clear signs of impoverishment around you on a scale you've never seen before (crumbling roads, bread lines, etc.); and (5) general upturn in crime and civil unrest.

Basically, all the fire and brimstone stuff.
