World markets plunge
Asian markets dropped sharply overnight as Japan saw its biggest one day drop since 1987. Stocks in Europe have also plummeted leading to steep decline after the opening bell on Wall Street.
Both Japan and Europe are injecting massive sums of capital into the markets in an attempt to stabilize the situation.
Investors may be heading for safe havens though, especially those worried about their retirement accounts. The yen and US treasuries are rising. The yen is being repatriated in large quantities as investors pay off low-interest loans in Japanese currency.
