I was just about to go to sleep when I noticed the Nikkei crashed 4 percent and trading was suspended. All of the Asian markets seem to be affected. Tomorrow will be an interesting day for stocks.

The big yikes for me came when Yahoo didn’t live up to expectations causing Google to drop double digits. I’m still up huge from when I bought it a while ago, but I can’t help but feel like a pig on days like these!

The tech stock was being investigated and I guess the drop in its prices was making margin calls and so ppl were dumping their porfolios to cover the calls.
