How do i buy the NASDAQ? Is there a symbol i can put in with my brokerage account to buy it?

There is an ETF with the symbol QQQQ put out by PowerShares that tracks with the NASDAQ-100 index. You can short the ETF (if you think the NASDAQ is still in a free-fall) and also you can buy options like puts and calls based on QQQQ.
Go to the Ultra Pro Shares site and they'll list all of their NASDAQ ETF Index Funds for you to pick from - there are more choices than most realize.
