Will this end life as we know/knew it? After these market drops, consumers might keep their credit cards under lock and key! "A government report Friday morning of an unexpectedly strong rise in consumer prices in March intensified Wall Street's unease. The figures rekindled worries that the Federal Reserve not only would raise interest rates again, but might be more aggressive in trying to cool down the economy. The Fed has raised rates five times since June, each time by a quarter-point in borrowing charges. Now, some investors fear a half-point increase. The market volitility has forced several companies to postpone their initial public stock offerings as well as plans for mergers and acquisitions." That hurts investment banks and brokerages.

That hurts investment banks and brokerages."
