Literally, with a photograph of the Bowling Green bull statue's butt next to a worker sweeping the ground and the word "CRAPS!" underneath.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "U.S. stock futures pointed to a lower open, following declining overseas markets, with worries about European banks and gloom over the global economic outlook weighing on sentiment." And in Europe, regulators are considering a ban on short selling "in an effort to stop the tailspin in the markets, according to two people with knowledge of government discussions."
