A weaker-than-expected jobs report today and renewed concerns about financial stability in Europe set off a major sell-off, with stocks ending at their worst levels since February.
The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) were down 323 points, or 3.2%, to 9,932. The Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) shed 84 points, or 3.6%, to 2,219. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) was down 38 points, or 3.4%, to 1,065.
The selling was broad, and it accelerated into the close as many investors didn't want to hold positions over the weekend.
