...stocks headed back to the lows of mid-November, when the Dow sank to 7552? A further decline of 5% or so from Thursday's lows would put the market back near the November bottom.

It didn't take long after hostilities died down for the more intrepid to return to Liberia's beaches (indeed, some gnarly old U.N. hands will tell you they never left).
