DOW dropped over 400 points yesterday...is dropping over 500 points overnight

The same people who played their money games that cause the last big "crisis" have continued their ways. This will continue to inflict suffering on the rest of us as long as it is permitted to go on.

The stock market rout spreads to big box retail

'Target shares fell as much as 11% this morning after it narrowly missed analyst expectations for the quarter, as massive selling took all three major U.S. stock markets underwater for the year.

The big picture: In trading this morning, the Dow, the S&P and Nasdaq all wiped out their gains for the year. Retail stocks were hit hard just three days before Black Friday, the biggest brick-and-mortar shopping event of the year.

The other side: Many traditional retailers have reported strong sales growth quarter after quarter this year — Target reported today that sales surged 5.1% in the third quarter, for example.




    • The National Retail Federation projects U.S. holiday spending this season to reach an all-time high. It says Americans will spend 4.1% more this year than last.
The bottom line: Markets are jittery amid the U.S.-driven trade war, slowing global economic growth, and a cloud around Big Tech. That U.S. economic fundamentals appear strong has not seemed to matter to Wall Street investors.'

It finished down 551.8 points.

It is now down 1.03% YTD.
 
BTW - the futures market is down for US equities for tomorrow's shortened trading day.
