Why are none of the media outlets saying that even though the Dow dropped 680 points, the market still closed at 8149 or that it fell 275 points at the opening bell before any news came out?
Hatton ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: NYTimes. com News Alert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 4:24 PM Breaking News Alert The New York Times Monday, December 1, 2008 -- 4:20 PM ET ----- Dow Plunges 680 Points as Recession Is Declared The stock markets took a fall on Monday, diving along with investors' confidence. Confirmation that the nation is in a recession and reports of only a modest gain in holiday shopping sales have prompted many investors to resume selling after five days of higher closings. Late-session comments by Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. that the economic downturn is "significant" but manageable probably added to the market's gloom, as did more downbeat data about manufacturing and construction. The Dow Jones industrials were down 679.95 points, or 7.7 percent, while the broader Standard and Poor's 500-stock index was down 8.93 percent, or 80 points. The technology heavy Nasdaq fell 8.95 percent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:281856 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
