of Japan's shocking call to cap monetary stimulus continued to rattle investors
while a late day decline in Apple shares on remarks by billionaire investor
Carl Icahn added to selling pressure. The benchmark S&P 500 had its worst
day in three weeks, losing 19.34 points, or 0.92 percent, to 2,075.81, the Dow
Jones industrial average fell 210.79 points, or 1.17 percent, to 17,830.76 and

Nine of the major

leading the decliners. Consumer staples rose 0.03 percent.
