Dow drops 600 points as tech stocks fall again, Nasdaq down 10% in 3 daysIt was another rough day for the market as tech shares faced pressure following their worst sell-off in more than five months last week. Here's how the major averages performed: - The Dow fell 632 points. - The S&P 500 lost 2.78%. - The Nasdaq fell 4.1%. Weird how Trump never talks about the stock market when it loses big. But then acts like he's making it rain money whenever it recovers what it lost as if it never went down to begin with. Kinda like he claims to have created millions of jobs recently from the recently lost jobs.
