Final number may change as things settle.
Down 10% for the week.
Selling into the close.
This meets the technical definition of a correction.

Bloomberg radio: "This looks like the worst one-day drop ever." (But that needs to be fact checked).

(22,114 posts)continue to go up and up and up, all are probably facing margin calls, and thus finally after years and years of a continuing UP market, are now facing the piper. Hopefully most of us have been selling continuously as the markets kept going up (take a little profit off the table), as most analysts recommend.

(5,269 posts)If Dow drops another 200 or so points, all of market gains from 2019 will be wiped out and market was a loser for 2018 too, so we will be back to levels of 2017 wiping out most gains of past couple of years.

(8,922 posts)It got a good bump roughly the first year of the Trump presidency, that rose steadily, to hit 25520 on the Dow on Jan. 29, 2018. That was the end of the 2016 election bump. It closed today at 25766, up 246 points over the entire period.

(36,462 posts)It will bring up a little graph of what the Dow is doing today. You can adjust the time frame that it displays from 1 day to 5 days, 1 month, 6 months, etc. You can see the open and closing per day. It's pretty cool how much info you get for typing 4 letters.

(82,849 posts)I can't seem to copy-and-paste the graph that comes up, but it's pretty useful and has tabs for the day's chart, last 5 days, last month, last 6 months, last year, last 5 years.

funny the way things work. If he's going to take sole credit for all of the increases he needs to take credit for all of the decreases.

In fact, it might be worth watching the aftermarket and the Asian markets.
