The Dow!! May I please get another ticket for that ride?

What a ride it was today on the Dow. In less then 58 minutes of trading the Dow went from being down 800 pts, yes 800!, to being down only 300, pts. I don't know much about stocks and all the inner workings of the economic system that affords me the ability to earn a living, save and invest, but I do know something about roller coasters and boy I know that Six Flags wishes it had a ride like that for its customers to enjoy. Then again upon second thought maybe they don't.
