Market Coincidence Today

The Dow, S&P, & Nasdaq all went down 4.4% today.
If you go the second decimal, one is a tiny bit different.
But they round down(!) to 4.4%.
The Russell 2k went down 7% so they ruined the party.
With all the stress we're under, thought it would be fun to post this coincidence.
