Stocks plunge as coronavirus fears throw Wall Street into bear market
By Sylvan Lane - 03/11/20 04:10 PM EDT

Stocks plunged on Wednesday as deepening concern about the potential economic toll of the coronavirus outbreak and uncertainty over the prospects for federal stimulus pushed Wall Street into bear market territory.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed with a loss of 1,466 points, falling 5.9 percent. The S&P 500 index fell 4.9 percent while the Nasdaq composite fell 4.7 percent.

Wednesday’s losses plunged the Dow to 23,553.42 points, 20 percent below its 52-week high of 29,551.42 set on Feb. 12, the threshold for entering a bear market. The S&P index has fallen barely under 20 percent from its 52-week high of 3,386.15 points on Feb. 19.

It won't be too long before a lot of financial folks will be looking for other jobs as the industry contracts.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
