Here we go again gang so buckle up, it's going to be a wild month...

The Nikkei 225 is crawling down the ladder, as of this posting down about 3/4 of a percent (all charts via YahooFinance):

The Shanghai SSE opens down a hard 1.4% and apparently ready to move even lower if the Beijing government doesn't start buying more stocks soon:

Hong Kong's Hang Seng opens down 1.4% plus also:

Lastly, and not a sideshow, Taiwan opens down almost 2%:

In the mean time, WTI Crude continues to crater almost every Sunday session now, tonight down almost 0.8%:

Stay tuned as Gold seems to be the only rational player tonight...
