Asian markets like it, European and NA futures like it, my guess is the US markets will be up at first, somewhat strongly, with the rally fizzling later on.

Gold? Who knows, one could see it going either way, but an event like this is always a good time for a coordinated, 8AM EST, attack.

It sure does seem that this will all end ugly, and maybe ugly's what we need before we can rebuild from ground zero. Unfortunately, many of us won't live to see the rebuilding part; it's gonna take a while.
