Extract
S&P and Nasdaq futures pointed sharply lower early Monday, indicating a
down start for stocks. That would continue the pattern of late last week:
the major indexes all sank nearly 2 percent Friday, capping a
three-session sell-off that took the Dow down about 400 points.
It was the worst week for the 30-share Dow in just over two years.
The selling spread worldwide Monday as stocks tumbled in Asia and were
trading lower in Europe.
The selling came even as oil prices fell below $50 a barrel in early
trading. Whereas cheaper oil would normally be seen as positive for
stocks, investors are now viewing it as a sign of a coming economic
slowdown, which could hurt demand for oil.
You are correct Jim. It is time to take that money and buy stocks at these
depressed prices so you can buy an even bigger boat in a couple of years.
