U.S. Stocks End Lower; Nasdaq Sinks

Technology Sector Sees Sharp Declines

U.S. stocks capped a wild week with losses Friday, as sharp declines in technology shares dragged the broad market lower and the Dow industrials back into negative territory for the year.

Stocks swung up and down in a dramatic fashion throughout the week as investors vacillated between worries that a slowdown in global growth, particularly in Europe, could hurt the U.S. economy and hopes that the Federal Reserve may hold off longer on raising interest rates. The Dow’s back and forth swings starting Tuesday covered nearly 1,000 points, leaving the blue chips down 466 points for the week.

Like a coming storm can be felt in one's bones....there's a real bad one on the horizon.

Will it be a fear of an Ebola pandemic that triggers a stock market crash?   :shrug:

Before it's over the Dow will be nearer 7000 that 17000!

It won't be fear Ebola that does it but simply the fed stopping the practice of printing money which they call "quantitative easing".
