Interesting. Here's all the theories that are mentioned in this article:

- Rising interest rates.
- Investors getting out of tech stocks.
- Anticipated warming up to China that failed to materialize.
- Worries over Italy's finances (European markets are down too).

I'm pretty sure Obama is to blame somewhere.

Dow plunges 500 points again. We're now below 25,000, exactly where we were in December of last year.

It is not looking that good for the market now.

Stocks fell sharply on Friday as investors slogged through another volatile session on Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 296.24 points lower at 24,688.31 after dropping 539 points at its lows of the day. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.1 percent to 7,167.21. At its lows, the tech-heavy Nasdaq had fallen more than 3 percent.
The S&P 500 fell 1.7 percent to 2,658.69 and briefly entered into correction territory, trading more than 10 percent below its record high reached in September. The average stock market correction, since WWII, results in a 13 percent drop and lasts for four months if it does not turn into a full-fledged bear market.
