Investors are clutching their stomachs as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell hundreds of points this morning, momentarily diving below 8,000 (with a 600+ drop) to under 8,000. Right now (9:48 a.m.), it's down 262 points at 8,316 points (down 3%). Nasdaq is currently down 1.5% and the S&P 500 is down 2.7%.
You can track how far the Dow is going with this one-day graph Yahoo Finance. Also interesting: the 5-day graph. And CNBC reports, "For those hoping that the seven-day blowout on Wall Street may have created a market bottom, there are two words to contemplate: Not yet."
