This is an open thread to discuss what's happening in America's financial markets. Yesterday's thread is too big to load comfortably in a web browser. The Dow fell 504 points yesterday, the largest drop since 9/11, after some bummer news and then some more. Markets in Asia dived next, with Japan bank stocks taking their steepest decline in more than 20 years. The Fed meets today.
