...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. The S&P 500, a broader measure of the stock market, finished down 0.5%, and the NASDAQ lost...
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.

...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.
