The meltdown continued overnight in Asia. If you click on the link
Major World Indices - Yahoo! Canada Finance - Share Prices, Charts, News and more you will see what

A 4.25% decline in Toronto means that over $70B of wealth was wiped

I remember reading a good quote somewhere "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours." I'm sure it was Reagan.
