Just starting this so that we can all post our thoughts throughout the day.

My wish for today is that as many people as possible GO OUT AND VOTE.

I cannot vote as I have been living abroad for over 15 years so if anyone wants to vote for me, I would like to vote for Gordon Brown. Voting by MN proxy

Oooh I am so excited and I have not even had wine for four days, which is unusual.

When I am in this mood anything can happen.

It has recovered a bit. Down 400.

Slightly distracted by the BIG hair of the NY correspondent on BBC News.

BeenBeta · 06/05/2010 20:38

mspotato - watching on CNBC. They say it was a programme trading glitch on the Dow but the market is still heavily down and extremely volatile even without that.
