Possible reason for yesterday's market plunge

Here's Virg Rolfsrud hard at work on the Trading Floor in the Den at the Saddlebrooke house. It's not all golf, golf, golf, you know. (It's actually golf, markets, markets, golf.)

Every day the exchanges are open, you'll find Virgil viewing these three twinkling screens, making trades, monitoring the day's activity in various segments of the world's economy.

The television in the background is tuned to the financial channel, CNBC. The computer screens have high-speed internet access.

The intensity of activity does create some issues for sharing the computer, so a future investment will be a wifi connection, making it possible to log on to the internet from multiple computer systems anywhere in the house.

Blog fans disappointed in the rate of posting recently should know that the Big Board has been shut down, and Virgil and Steve are winging their way home to snowy Minnesota. But when Virg is here, the wheels of commerce must grind on.
