    A trader rests during afternoon trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on July 23, 2012 in New York City. The Dow dropped 101 points as fear spread regarding a possible bailout for the Spanish government.

    Fears about Spain's economy spark sell-offs on jittery stock market

    NBC News’ Roland Jones reports:

    Stocks took a tumble Monday, tracking global equity markets sharply lower, as traders worried that Spain could eventually be shut out of public markets and forced to seek a sovereign bailout in the same manner as Greece, which itself may be approaching an exit from the eurozone.

    By the close of trading, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 101 points, recovering from a loss of as much as 239 points sustained just after the opening bell.

    I generally don’t put much stock in the expressions of traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, but today’s bad economic news does seem to be reflected in the faces of these people.

    Msnbc.com’s Roland jones reports:

    A gloomy U.S. jobs report and signs of a global economic slowdown hammered Wall Street Friday, wiping out the stock market’s gains for 2012 and leaving investors wondering where to turn.

    The Dow Jones industrial average sank 275 points, or 2.2 percent, chalking up its biggest one-day drop since November. The market index closed down 0.8 percent for the year and off 2.7 percent for the week.

    I'm looking forward to finding out who Obama and his apologists will blame for this. GOP? Greedy rich people? Romney? One thing we can be sure of is that Obama will never accept responsibility his own failed economic policies.
