MGM Resorts International and PVH, owner of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands, were among the biggest decliners. Each was down more than 12%.The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1,259 points, or 4.7%, to 25,730. The Nasdaq composite, which was coming off an all-time high, slid 3%. Small company stocks continued to bear the brunt of the selling. The Russell 2000 index was down 5.6%.
