The Dow is down about 100 points this morning, thanks in part to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's inflation worries and Bed, Bath & Beyond issuing its first-ever profit warning as a public company (never mind that both concerns contradict each other). In this current bullish climate, sour trading starts have tended to turn around by the closing bell, so we'll see.
*The Dow finishes down 81 points. A bunch of local issues fell around 1 percent for the day. Not horrible.
