Dow and S&P futures down around 2% as well. Could be a really bad day tomorrow. Hold on to your hats, people.

Sympathy goes out to those in Japan..

I was just reading the same thing.... http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/03/15/3164595.htm

Winds are blowing the radioactive smoke plume in the direction of Tokyo, and could be there in the next 10 hours. They're already detecting radiation at 9 to 40 times the normal level in areas near Tokyo. Could you imagine if the reactors get worse or God forbid an actual meltdown?

 

Meh.....Tokyo is 150 miles away. You'd need to get radioactive material at least 1,000 feet in the air. That (hopefully) won't happen.

 

Hopefully Japan's steelmakers aren't able to produce steel for a long time. And yes I do own shares in PKX.

NHK saying radiation up to 400mSv at Reactor #3, 100mSv at Reactor 1. That's 250 times the maximum reported prior number. Might be a meltdown.....

Reality hits you hard, bro...
