Well, that was an interesting day on the stock market.
Amid fears of a second recession, a debt crisis in the Eurozone and tomorrow’s uncertain jobs report, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 500 points while the Nasdaq lost 137 points. The S&P 500 index, a tracker of the largest stocks, erased 60 points.
Today’s losses were the single worst drop in stocks since the 2008 crash and the ninth-biggest point drop ever for the Dow. These losses reverberated throughout Twitter with users tweeting their outrage and expressing fear about their portfolios.
