The market does not beat them.
They beat themselves,

LONDON (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock futures indicated a partial recovery on Tuesday after the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday suffered its worst point drop in a single day of 777 points, following the House of Representatives’ rejection of a bill for the Treasury to buy $700 billion of troubled assets. Shortly after 4 a.m. Eastern, S&P 500 futures rose 32.5 points to 1,151.30, Nasdaq 100 futures added 32.5 points to 1,544.50 and Dow industrial futures rose 230 points.

Another day of record market losses
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — If further proof was needed that Wall Street doesn’t appreciate uncertainty, Monday’s market reaction to the U.S. House of Representatives turning down the government’s $700 billion financial bailout plan should settle the matter.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 777 points. That was the worst point drop in the blue-chip index’s history, topping its 684-point slide on Sept. 17, 2001, the day the stock market reopened after the terror attacks on New York and Washington.
The Dow settled at 10,365, its lowest close since Oct. 27, 2005. It has now dropped 3,799 points, or 26.8%, from its record close of 14,164 on Oct. 9, 2007.
The S&P 500 Index fell 106 points, or 8.8%, its largest percentage drop since Oct. 26, 1987. That translated to more than a $700 billion loss for equities in the broad index, noted Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at Standard & Poor’s.
The Nasdaq Composite Index plunged 199 points, or 9.1%, the third-worst percentage drop on record for the technology-laden index.
Crude prices fell $10.52, or 9.8%, to close at $96.37, marking crude’s second-largest one-day drop in dollar terms on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The volatility index, otherwise known as the market’s fear gauge, jumped to 46.72 — its highest close since the crash of October 1987.
Gold, which closed before the results of the vote on the bailout plan, rose $5.90, or 0.7%, to close at $894.40 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. In electronic trading, it surged $16.

(2) dow future before STI open & during STI trades
(3) nikkei & asx before STI open & during STI trades
(4) sector (coal, palm oil) before STI open & during STI trades

Top U.S. policy makers say $700 bln rescue reached
TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) — U.S. policy makers, working through Saturday night into Sunday, said they’d outlined a plan to rescue the financial system but needed to put it on paper before saying that they had a final deal, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stood with top negotiators to announce the tentative accord on a $700 billion plan to have the Treasury purchase bad assets, the Journal reported.
Under the plan, the Treasury Department would buy distressed mortgage-backed securities and other bad debts held by banks and other investors. The funds would help lenders make loans and keep credit lines open, the Journal reported. The government would then sell the securities at the best price it could get.
The plan, announced after midnight U.S. Eastern Time Sunday and probably to be made official later Sunday, is likely to limit executive compensation for some companies and to give the U.S. government authority to take equity in companies that sell bad assets under the plan, the Journal reported.
Sen. Reid said that an idea from Rep. Pelosi broke a negotiating deadlock, the Journal reported. She and other negotiators agreed on provisions that would enable the federal government to recoup money for taxpayers if the asset-purchase program wasn’t making money after a certain period.
One proposal that both conservative House Democrats and Senate Democrats have floated is to create a deposit-insurance fund similar to the one operated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for bank accounts, the Journal reported.
A Senate aide told the paper that provisions were under discussion to address such concerns, mainly by assessing fees on a wide group of financial institutions to create a privately funded rescue fund to pay for any future and current bailouts.
