3. Remembering "Limit down" mornings and "circuit breakers"

This is giving me flashbacks to the Great Recession, during which there were a couple of mornings when trading was halted even before it began (or maybe after a second or two) because too many people were trying to sell. Then the NYSE would open for a few minutes, and then trading would be halted, with time-outs ranging from fifteen minutes to an hour or more.

But I've also seen markets recover overnight from extreme after-markets selling the night before. (Though I don't expect that this time).

I'll be watching Asia and Europe tonight.
