House of Pain: What a Wall Street Pummeling Looks Like

When China’s financial situation is suddenly so fragile, they can’t keep their stock exchange open without hitting a trip wire and shutting down again…

and when the Chinese, U.S. and other world economies are so maddeningly tied together…

and when you dispatch a news photographer of Spencer Platt’s caliber to a nail-biting Wall Street to capture the trading floor roller-coaster ride …

you can almost see all the anxious stabs.

The whole nest egg-crushing slideshow is at Zimbio.
