Rick Santelli said earlier that the market dropped 2% because it didn't like Ben Bernanke's delivery during today's speech. Not what he said, per se, but how he said it. Personally, we're big fans of the Beard, but we understand that some people need a little more enthusiasm so, for next time:

On a completely unrelated note, how can Art Cashin get up every morning and talk about "testing the lows" each and every day?!
It must be the only thing he knows about trading in 42 years. Every single day he's talking about getting a good downward push early and beat out the market low for the crisis. Seriously, why is he even on Squawk Box? Get a tape recorder and run the same track every morning.
Memo to Art: I don't care how old you are - This crisis is unlike anything you've ever seen. History is a poor model for forecasting this situation. You've called for the market to "test the low" every day since August of 2007.
