While there were worries of huge losses after overseas markets fell, U.S. stocks were down about 3%: The Dow fell 312 points (-3.59%), while the Nasdaq fell 3.23% and S&P 500 dropped 3.45%. This photograph, above, taken earlier in the day when the Dow fell 400 some points, juxtaposes a ticker with an eerily appropriate ad for Madgascar 2.
The NY Times notes, "Just a year ago, a drop of that size would have been considered a very bad day, but for investors in these tumultuous days it almost came as a bit of a relief," but CNBC added, "Not everyone was happy that a washout never materialized. Analysts who thought a steeper decline in stocks would bring about a bottom were let down." Well, there's always next week: GDP data will be released!





even the animals are freaked out over the drop. that's bad.
great picture.
@djwerdna--animated animals at that!!
Too bad Bill Clinton forced all the banks to give out shitty loans that would never be repaid.
haha
banks totally do what they're told.
That's why we need more, not less, government control.
