Dow Falls Below 10,000 Mark
The Last Time the Dow Closed Below 10,000 Was Oct. 26, 2004
By JOE BEL BRUNO
AP Business Writer
Oct. 6, 2008—
NEW YORK (AP)-- Financial markets took a bleak view of the future Monday, seeing contagion in a credit crisis that threatens to cascade through economies globally despite government efforts to provide relief. The Dow Jones industrials skidded around 700 points and fell below 10,000 for the first time in four years, while the credit markets remained under strain.
Investors around the world have come to the sobering realization that the Bush administration's $700 billion rescue plan won't work quickly to unfreeze the credit markets. Global banks, hobbled by wrong-way bets on mortgage securities, remain starved for cash as credit has dried up.
That has sent stocks spiraling downward in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and driven investors to sink money into the relative safety of U.S. government debt. Fears about a global recession also caused oil to drop below $90 a barrel.
How Is the Economy Treating You?
Tell ABC News
"The fact is people are scared and the only thing they're doing is selling," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "Investors are cleaning out portfolios and getting rid of everything because nothing seems to be working."
The selling was so extreme that only 98 stocks rose on the NYSE and 3,114 dropped. That's a telling sign considering the stock market is considered a leading economic indicator, with investors tending to buy and sell based on where they believe the economy will be in six to nine months.
Monday's steep decline on Wall Street indicates that investors are becoming more convinced that the country is leading a prolonged economic crisis that is spreading to other nations. Over the weekend, governments across Europe rushed to prop up failing banks, while the governments of Germany, Ireland and Greece also said they would guarantee bank deposits.
As the U.S. tries to repair its battered banking system, the German government and financial industry agreed on a $68 billion bailout for commercial-property lender Hypo Real Estate Holding AG. And France's BNP Paribas agreed to acquire a 75 percent stake in Fortis's Belgium bank after a government rescue failed.
The Fed also took fresh steps to help ease credit markets. The central bank said Monday it will begin paying interest on commercial banks' reserves and will expand its loan program to squeezed banks.
Joseph V. Battipaglia, chief investment officer at Ryan Beck & Co., said government intervention certainly might help. However, he believes investors are sensing that what's happening in the economy is a shift in the extent to which consumers and businesses take on debt, a change that will take years to play out.
"This is a global deleveraging of many economies," he said. "It might appear that you're going into the abyss where the economy grinds to a halt and the financial system goes into complete disarray. But, what the market is really reading here is that this is a global phenomenon, and when you delever like this, it is a process that takes a very long period of time measured in years, not quarters."
That, he said, is being reflected in major stock indexes being repriced significantly lower. In early afternoon trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 593.61, or 5.75 percent, to 9,731.77, dropping below 10,000 for the first time since Oct. 29, 2004. At one point, the Dow was down more than 600.
Broader indexes also tumbled. The Standard & Poor's 500 index shed 70.28, or 6.39 percent, to 1,028.95; and the Nasdaq composite index fell 137.38, or 7.05 percent, to 1,810.01. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies dropped 41.45, or 6.69 percent, to 577.95.
In Asia, the Nikkei 225 closed 4.25 percent lower. Europe's stock markets also declined, with the FTSE-100 down 5.20 percent, Germany's DAX down 7.07 percent, and France's CAC-40 down 9.04 percent.
The anxiety was again obvious in the credit markets. The yield on the three-month Treasury bill slipped to 0.42 percent from 0.50 percent late Friday. Demand for bills remains high because of their safety; investors are willing to take extremely low returns just to have their money in a secure place.
Investors also moved into longer-term Treasury bonds. The yield on the 10-year note fell to 3.49 percent from 3.60 percent late Friday.
Anthony Sabino, a professor of law and business at St. John's University, said the "market is displaying one of its worst traits with a herd mentality, and investors have an appetite for feeding on fear." He cautions that, while there are deep economic and financial problems being faced, it is still not a nightmare scenario.
"Most certainly, this is not the Great Depression of the 1930s, but (is like) the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and we bailed them out," he said. "Once people catch their breath, they'll see this is the proper analogy and this will breathe life back into banking institutions."
Banks' hesitation to lend to one another and to many businesses and individuals is the result of the bad mortgage debt that the financial rescue is supposed to sweep up. But it's still unclear how quickly financial institutions will be able to hand that debt to the U.S. government and convince the markets they are healthy again.
There has been some hope that perhaps the Fed, in concert with other central banks, might cut interest rates to help stimulate the economy. With oil prices well off their midsummer highs and indicators pointing to a slower economy, the Fed's worries about inflation are less than they had been, making it easier to justify a rate cut.
Investors might get some indication about a potential rate cut with several policymakers slated to speak this week. Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher and Chicago Fed President Charles Evans will speak on the U.S. economy on Monday. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is due to speak on Tuesday.
Frederick Dickson, chief market strategist at D.A. Davidson & Co., believes investors are eager for any signs about the well-being of the economy. He doesn't believe that will happen until Wall Street overhauls its expectations for growth of corporate earnings and the overall economy.
"Wall Street at this point is shifting its attention from whether Congress was going to act on the emergency stabilization bill to the realization that the economy is slowing significantly faster than most analysts had expected," he said. "The downturn has shifted from first gear to about third gear in about two weeks."

Newman’s Own - The secret he took to the grave
What are You Thought's on this One, My Truth Seeking Friends :) ... Lisa
Newman’s Own The secret he took to the grave. By William Tucker & Stephanie Gutmann
Paul Newman, who died last week, took a carefully guarded secret to his grave — something that would have disgraced him in Hollywood.
Did he have a secret mistress? (No, that wouldn’t bother anybody.)
Did he have a clandestine fleet of SUVs? (Now that’s more like it.)
Was he addicted to McDonald’s hamburgers?
No, Paul Newman was a cautious but increasingly open supporter of nuclear power.
Newman’s journey from garden-variety left-wing environmentalism to nuclear advocacy began in 1992 when he played the role of General Leslie Groves, supervisor of the Manhattan Project, in the movie Fat Man and Little Boy. Richard Rhodes’s book The Making of the Atomic Bomb, which won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction, was a primary source for the film, and Rhodes had just written Nuclear Renewal, making the case for a revival of the technology.
Rhodes and Newman both lived in Connecticut and became friends. Over the next few years the two men discussed nuclear power, and Newman gradually became a convert to the technology. Through Rhodes, Newman met Denis Beller, a professor of engineering at the University of Nevada, also an expert on nuclear energy.
“In all the meetings I had with Paul Newman, he struck me as very open-minded and inquisitive,” says Beller. “He came out to Nevada in 2002 and visited the Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies, where several faculty members showed him research on the transmutation of nuclear waste. They also discussed why ideas like launching nuclear waste into the sun were not really practical. The visit ended with a trip to Yucca Mountain, where Kevin Phillips, the mayor of neighboring Caliente, whose front porch is only 50 yards from the rail line where waste would be transported, told Newman he was not opposed to the project. Later [Newman] told me, ‘That’s the most impressive thing I’ve seen.’”
The following, year, Newman and his wife, Joanne Woodward, hosted a dinner and debate about nuclear energy for high-level Washington policymakers and New York press executives in their Fifth Avenue apartment overlooking Central Park. Both Beller and Rhodes helped arrange the event. (Rhodes says the meeting was held under the Chatham House Rule, where none of the participants can be identified, and he still does not feel at liberty to discuss it.) Beller later introduced Newman to two other advocates, Susan Eisenhower, whose Eisenhower Institute has promoted nuclear power as part of a legacy of Pres. Dwight Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace program, and Al Trivelpiece, former director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The Eisenhower Institute arranged two more soirees in Newman’s apartment.
For a public figure, however — especially one connected with Hollywood — support for nuclear power is a risky position to take. Newman long directed the profits from his food business, Newman’s Own, into the Newman’s Own charitable foundation. His board of directors warned him that becoming an advocate of nuclear power would endanger fund-raising. “He told me that he had once written an oped in opposition to clear-cutting in the Northwest, and logging supporters had boycotted several restaurants that served Newman’s Own salad dressings,” said Beller. “He was very concerned that any public statements might hurt small businesses that carried his products.”
Newman did begin advertising his support for nuclear in connection with his other passion — auto racing. Ever since playing an Indy 500 driver in the 1968 movie Winning, Newman raced cars on his own. He finished in the top five in races at both Daytona and Le Mans, and won four national driving titles from 1976 to 1986. Over the years he also became friends with a racing opponent, Eddie Wachs, owner of E. H. Wachs, Inc., which has participated in the decommissioning of several reactors and helped rebuild the TVA’s Browns Ferry Unit I, which reopened in 2007.
In 2002 Newman and Wachs formed Newman Wachs Racing, which fielded two cars that carried 26 nuclear decals and a public service message promoting nuclear power. Two year later the Nuclear Energy Institute became aware of their effort and sponsored a car emblazoned with the message “Nuclear — Clean Air Energy,” which won the opening race of the 2008 Champ Car Atlantic season. The car and its racing crew subsequently visited several engineering schools around the country to encourage young people to enter the nuclear profession.
In the last few years, Newman became more public in his support of nuclear power. One of the biggest controversies in the New York area is the effort by environmental groups to shut down the Indian Point Nuclear Station, which provides New York City and Westchester County with 20 percent of their electricity. One leading opponent is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose opposition not only to Indian Point but to windmill farms off Martha’s Vineyard and Long Island Sound earned him an appearance with Al Gore and two movie stars on the cover of the “Green” issue of Vanity Fair (certainly an appropriately named publication). “Paul told me Kennedy tried to recruit him to oppose Indian Point for many years but finally gave up,” said Beller.
Instead, in May 2007, Newman did a tour of Indian Point and issued the following press release stating that “no Army or Navy base I’ve ever visited has been more armored. . . . The commitment to safety is clear.” The release also noted that the generator provided a million people with electricity while generating no greenhouse gases.
The statement received almost no attention in the press.
Anyone with the slightest intelligence and objectivity can see that we are weakening ourselves as a nation through our reliance on foreign oil, that so-called “renewables” can only add a small fraction to our output, and that nuclear offers a clean alternative with minimal environmental disruption. Countries such as France that have already made the nuclear transition have also achieved enormous economic benefits.
Had Newman declared himself a dyslexic or an alcoholic or a homosexual in his later years, Hollywood and the press would have lionized him for his courage and candor. Coming out for nuclear power, however, is a far more dangerous affair. It certainly doesn’t get you on the cover of Vanity Fair.
