Stocks plunge again as a wild week gets worse

Stocks dropped sharply Friday in what has been a wild week for Wall Street.

The Dow fell more than 600 points, while the S&P 500 slumped 2.7 percent. The Nasdaq sank 3.4 percent.

Shares of large-cap tech companies led the way lower. Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google-parent Alphabet all traded lower. Apple's stock also fell 2.38 percent after Morgan Stanley cut its price target on the tech giant's shares, citing weakening iPhone sales.

For the week, the major indexes were all down more than 3 percent. Thursday's session included a violent drop of nearly 800 points, followed by a strong rebound from those levels.

You don't take away trillions from the economy from taking away health care, or transferring trillions to the wealthiest people and corporations without consequences. They've done the same as they did under W Bush only more , and much worse things, so any republicans feel lucky and leaving your money in the markets now? This is just the tip of the iceberg. Trump's economic policies are just like his business policies , which is why he's filed bankruptcies so often. His tariffs and new deals are all damaging President Obama's policies that were helping all of us do better, unless you believe the liar trump. While President Obama was in office he claimed how bad we were doing all the time, then he entered office then claimed it all was because of his policies, which it wasn't, and not the truth, and its now exposing him and his little games of saying anything to try an make himself look like a winner , when the opposite is the truth. Its going to get worse, much worse, and all because of trump and the gop.
