If it isn't the Nasdaq getting rocked, it is the Dow. Or both, as was the case today. The Dow grabbed the headlines, sinking nearly 400 points and coming frighteningly close to dropping below the 10,000 point barrier. The Dow closed the day off 379 points, about 3.6%, amid broad-based selling after Home Depot's earnings warning and another spike in the price of oil after a suspected terrorist attack on a U.S. ship escalated the violence in the Middle East. The Nasdaq jumped more than 2% out of the gate and looked poised for a rally, but the selling pressure from the Dow quickly dragged on the tech sector as well. The Nasdaq closed near session lows, off 94 or 3%. CNNfn provides in depth coverage of 'Wall Street at a crossroads'.

Pre-market futures trading foretold an ugly day for the market. At about 11, fears were confirmed as the Dow and Nasdaq fell to session lows (down 173.5 and 137 respectively). But in the early afternoon, the indices staged a comeback, with the Dow nearly reaching breakeven, and the Nasdaq breaking into the green. But in the end, the future foretold by the futures came to pass. The Nasdaq finished 72 points down, as big-caps and Internet stocks traded lower (notably Yahoo, which fell 21% on the day), and chips gave up early gains to finish flat. The Dow also posted big losses, sliding 110 points, as big-cap tech, financial, and retail stocks weighed heavily on the blue-chip index.

Semiconductor's sustained major losses today, and they pulled all of tech down with it. Worries about earnings and revenue growth surfaced anew, pushing the Nasdaq down 115 points on the day. The tech index had a brief foray into positive territory during early morning trading, but quickly dropped into the red, and stayed the rest of the day. The Dow ended down only 44 points, despite the drop in big-cap techs, as drug and oil issues managed to ward off heavy losses.

As the trading session headed into the afternoon, things were gloomy indeed for the tech sector. On the eve of another earnings season, the Nasdaq was off 125+ points and the mood was decidedly pessimistic. But, they appeared, bargain hunters. The buying action wasn't enough to bring the Nasdaq into positive territory, but the close of 6 points in the red was close enough. Big cap tech led the charge back. The Dow, on the other hand, had a fairly strong morning, staying above water even as the Nasdaq was floundering. But, in the afternoon the financials led the Dow lower, with the index closing off 28.

It was another miserable week (off 8.5%) for the Nasdaq as the lows created by the spring sell-off are getting closer and closer. The Nasdaq dropped another 111 points, more than 3%, during today's session. The catalyst was a stronger than expected employment report. Suddenly, the expectation that the Fed might be easing in the near future seems unlikely and the specter of a rate hike has reasserted itself. Put these concerns on top of the earnings fears and you have a jittery market on the eve of the third quarter earnings season. The Dow looked stronger in the morning session, but experienced significant losses as well. The financial sector was a particular drag and the index closed down 128.

The Nasdaq had another losing day today, as Dell Computer's earnings warning yesterday added further evidence to investors worries over tech revenues. The tech index opened in negative territory, and stayed there most of the day, shedding 51 points before the close. The Dow also spent the majority of the day in the red; after spiking at 60 up in morning trading, the blue-chip index skidded to finish a 60 below. Some old-economy stocks saw buying interest, as investors rotated towards companies with more consistent earnings growth. (source: CNNfn) http:/cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/10/05/markets/markets_newyork

Nasdaq has had a miserable week so far and red numbers greeted the open. However, around 2:30 the Nasdaq said goodbye to the negative numbers and pushed ahead into a close at 68 to the plus side, near session highs. Leadership came from the chip, internet, and telecom sectors. The Dow had a different sort of day. In the morning it benefited from rotation out of tech stocks to post gains of triple-digits. However, it did not sustain those levels and closed up 65 on the day. (source: MSNBC) http://msnbc.com/news/158521.asp Dow Jones Industrials: 10784.48 +64.74 +0.60% |

It should come as no surprise: what looked like a positive day for the Nasdaq turned nasty before the close, with the tech index losing about 3.2%, or 113 points. The tech sector saw a brief rally early in the day following a positive chip sales report, but could not sustain it past the morning. Right after the fed's interest rates decisions were announced, the Nasdaq just tanked. Analysts have said the drop was not due to the fed's report at all, but rather triggered by an unexpected sell-off of Oracle shares, which lost 12% on the day. On the other hand, the Dow managed to avoid losses, finishing up about 20 points on the day. The blue-chip index gained steadily until it peaked around 2:30, and then fell steadily to the close, the drop eerily coinciding with the 'benign' fed news.

Next month, a new SEC regulation will go into effect that's expected to shake up how public companies disclose information. The new requirement means corporations must rely on the internet more than ever to communicate with shareholders.

The Nasdaq suffered another day of major losses, falling to its lowest point in four months, as the tech sector continues to get slammed. The tech index opened in positive territory, but quickly gave up its gains and more, shedding 104 points on the day. The descent was led by Biotech and Internet issues. The Dow, on the other hand, managed to move into positive territory, closing up 49 points. The blue-chip index was helped by rotation away from the tech sector and a strong performance by financials.

It was a fitting end for September, as the market lost more ground today. The month has seen substantial losses for all of the major indices, and contributed to a year that may have the dubious distinction of being the worst in a decade. Earnings warnings dragged the market down today (see story below), pulling the Nasdaq to a close 105.5 under, and the Dow down 173. The indices remained fairly steady (though deep in negative territory) throughout most of the day, but lost significant ground in the last hour of trading.

Back with a vengeance. The Nasdaq has struggled mightily over the past five days, but turned things around in impressive fashion today. The tech index closed up 122 points, more than 3.3%. The internet and chip sectors led the way in a broad-based rally. The Dow didn't want to be left out of the party, either. The blue chip index picked up 196 points, about 1.8%. The financials were the backbone for the surge. (source: CNNfn) http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/09/28/markets/markets_newyork/ Dow Jones Industrials: 10824.06 +195.70 +1.84% |

It was the fifth straight negative day for the Nasdaq. A revenue warning from Priceline sent the internet sector into a nosedive from the get go and eventually the pressure became too much. The Nasdaq gave up positive territory in the middle of the afternoon and closed down 33 points. The Dow struggled for much of the day as well, but staged a late session rally to close off only 3.

Earnings warnings, the weakening euro, energy prices: we've heard it all before. The same issues that have hampered the market the last two weeks continued to take their toll, particularly earnings. A warning from Eastman Kodak (see story below) sent the Dow tumbling, finishing down 177 points. The index spent the entire day mired in the red. The Nasdaq also posted negative results, shedding 52 points by the close. The tech index's losses were countered by chip stocks for most of the day, but they eventually fell into the red with the rest of the tech sectors.
