Stock prices took a sharp plunge for the second day in a row, Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen a total of 950 points, or 4 percent, in the last two days. The major stock market indexes are now negative for the year.<\/p>\n

The gloom-and-doom on Wall Street has wiped out the stock market’s gains for the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Dow dropped 552 points, or 2.2%, on Tuesday. Plunging retailers like Target (TGT<\/a>) and Kohl’s (KSS<\/a>) led the S&P 500 1.8% lower.<\/div>\n
Tech stocks once again got hit hard, with the Nasdaq sinking 1.7%. Apple retreated another 5% after Goldman Sachs dimmed its price target on the iPhone maker for the\u00a0second time in a week.<\/a><\/div>\n
All three major indexes have given up their gains on the year. The Dow is nearly 2,500 points off its peak.<\/div>\n

“The highways will be crowded this evening as the Thanksgiving rush will begin in earnest, but this morning investors are rushing for the exits,” Paul Hickey, co-founder of Bespoke Investment Group, wrote to clients on Tuesday.<\/div>\n

The Dow lost nearly 400 points on Monday as well. This week’s sell-off marks a continuation of a glum two months on Wall Street. The S&P 500 is down nearly 10% from its record high, flirting with official correction territory.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
