...sixth day that saw the biggest point gain ever, the Dow Jones industrial average on Tuesday finished down 76.6 points, or 0.8%, an extremely mild loss considering the rollercoaster ride of recent days.

Exhibit A in the possible return to normalcy was the 3.5% loss in the tech-heavy NASDAQ, compared to the much smaller drop in the Dow and S&P.

The euphoria of the last hour of trading on Friday - when major markets turned positive and then ended the day only slightly down, with the Dow dropping a relatively modest 128 points, to 8,451.19 - hardly offset the terror of a rambunctious 700-point drop in the Dow at the opening bell. Events were...

...industrial average finished its worst week ever, off about 22%. On Friday, the market swung wildly, dropping 500 points on three occasions, then vaulting into positive territory before coughing up its gains in the last half-hour of trading to finish the day down 128 at 8,451.
