Down, down, down until it's up, up, up
If you're writing for the news, this is a great day to pull out all those words you can think of for "falling". Reports this morning say the stock market opened just in time to plunge, panic, dive, do a tailspin, plummet, nosedive, dip, tumble, drop and take a header, among other things. But the fact of the matter is that the market has already come back up quite a bit as I write this entry, so I'm sure we'll see words such as "rally and "rise" before the end of the trading day. There's one thing you can always say about news headlines. If you don't get in on the first wave of bad news you can always be ready to be first when things go the other way.
