Pre–911 Jitters and The DOW Tumbles

With today being only a couple of days away from the anniversary of  September 11 the market took a plunge. Other contributing factors could have been the job numbers, but there is a great likelihood that investors were nervous about holding on to stocks over a weekend that included September 11.
In our current market conditions where there is uncertainty there is always potential for panic.

Perhaps after the weekend we’ll start to work our way back up to the 12,000 level if the weekend proves uneventful enough to allow investors to breath a sigh of relief next week.
