S&P 500 has worst week of the year

[Forever Sunshine]

The Dow Jones industrial average lost more than 40 points, or 0.3%. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.7%. All three indexes were twice as deep in the red earlier in the day.

With the day's move down, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed out their weakest week of the year. The S&P 500 dropped 1%, while the Nasdaq lost 2%. The Dow slipped 0.1% for the week, marking its second worst performance of the year.

Friday's sell-off was broad based, with about 60% of the Dow's 30 components ending in the red. Technology stocks were among the biggest losers, after a leader in the networking equipment sector warned of a weak quarter ahead.

   I love going through old threads / posts too. I never archive or delete any of them. Most are fun to re-read.

I don't play the markets because I don't really earn enough to live other than paycheck to paycheck. But, I do keep an eye on it and yes, it's been really good the last seven or eight months. My siblings are happy! hahaha
