Stocks take record tumble, the Dow plunged almost 1,000 points Thursday before recovering to close down 348, as erroneous trading in Procter & Gamble and several other stocks sparked a massive selloff.
The selling was a result of technical glitches that caused some stocks, including Dow component Procter & Gamble (PG), to plunge 37% to $39.37 per share from the close of $62.12 Wednesday.
Crude oil dropped to $77.11, down 3.6% on the day.
The market is still weak thought the market came back from the lows of the day. But the fact remains today was a terrible day for stocks. It now looks like the U.S. market has really entered a major pullback that may not bottom until there's real stability in European financial markets.
