WORST WEEK FOR U.S. STOCKS IN MORE THAN FOUR YEARS

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 4.2% this week, the S&P 500 dropped 4.4%, and Nasdaq was down a whopping 5.9%. For the DJIA and S&P 500 it was the worst week points-wise since July of 2002 and the Nasdaq experienced its biggest points decline since September of 2001. Overall, U.S. stocks had experienced 45 consecutive months without a drop of 2% in a single trading session, that is until Tuesday of this week when the slide began.
