Well, what else is there to do? There was no big news today, but plenty of worry - about oil, the dollar, credit woes, blah, blah, blah. The Dow finished down 211 points, to 12,799 (14,000 is looking mighty distant). The day was especially bad for the financials; Countrywide fell 8.4 percent to close at $9.42 a share and the locally based homebuilders did poorly as well. By the way, oil pulled back after flirting with $100 a barrel. (NYT)
