Happy Monday, Zingers! Can someone please call a plumber? I think we may have a leak. All major indices were in the green this morning. But a steady drip drop throughout the day left them all closing in the red. The bulls who tried to slap duct tape on the leaks were no match for the bears, as the overall market continues to dip in after-hours trading.

I’d try to help, but the one time I tried to fix my kitchen sink, I ended up flooding the entire apartment below me.
