Despite Torres locking down the Euro Cup yesterday, the poor Spanish centric investor had to wake up to more selling this morning. Spain's IBEX Index is down another -1% today, taking the stock market to -25% from its October 07' highs.

If there was such a thing as "CNBC Spain", the commentators wouldn't be debating whether or not their stock market is a "Bear". This is just plain ugly.

As a consolation prize for losing yesterday, German's DAX index is also down close to -1% on the day, taking the decline in German stocks to -21% since their 2007 highs.

It is global this time, indeed.
