I guess it opened briefly or something? The Google Finance ticker shows it closed, but it definitely went down in the last ten minutes or so.

e: it's definitely open now and reading -5.7%

That's why this is so glorious; honestly the fallout in the developed world isn't going to be particularly severe unless you put literally all your chips in the China basket in which case you deserve to lose your money for making a dumb investment.

I didn't but I can't say the same about the morons who run the company I work for, they're heavily invested into growth in China and they're paranoid idiots whose response to pretty much anything happening is layoffs and draconian cost cutting measures. At least I can take satisfaction in the fact that if they do further layoffs while we're already hemorrhaging employees they will essentially have cut it down to uselessness, man these people are dumb.

The Earth is the cradle of the mind, but one cannot stay in the cradle forever.
Its zigzagging like crazy.

Let's put some wagers on it, I predict a +3.5% close, thanks to Chinese pension money (which will evaporate by the end of this month).

I'm thinking it'll even out at best. Investors have to be terrified by the fact the government is actually throwing pension money in. That kind of desperation means things are hosed.

"Brendan Ahern, the portfolio manager of KraneShares, said that the U.S. equity markets have done exceedingly well without a significant correction which has been overdue. And U.S. valuations have risen along with stock prices unabated for seven years.

Stephen Roach, professor at Yale University and former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, said the U.S stock market has been supported by the Federal Reserve's expected move, not by the weak economic recovery.

"That's all we've been concerned about. The support from the Fed was artificial, but the policies are not necessary for the fundamental change of the economy," he said."

Don't worry guys, just listen to CNBC, no risk of recession here, the stock market isn't related to the economy, just a few old dudes screwing up the free market, if anything China is just growing too fast!!

Edit: worth noting the central bank dumped 150 billion yuan into the interbank market at opening this morning.

"The U.S. won't be affected by a Chinese downturn!"

"The dip is coincidental because U.S. stocks were overvalued anyway! This is a normal correction and you'll see green next monday/tuesday!"

"Ok so there is a panic contagion but it's irrational because U.S.'s real economy is fine! The job market's great and housing is up! The stock market isn't connected to the economy!"
