Map of the market: here be dragons

While following the market yesterday, I updated my Twitter account after a particularly precipitous mid-afternoon drop in the DJIA:

The DJIA trend line just kinda disappeared off the bottom of the chart there into Here Be Monsters territory about 30 minutes ago.

I meant “here be dragons” but you get the idea. Anyway, a reader sent in this chart that captures what many were feeling after the market closed.

The Sea of Dread, indeed. (thx, margaret)
