Markets: Dow gets slammed
By ROMA LUCIW
Globe and Mail Update

Stocks sat sharply lower through midafternoon Friday, with Wall Street touching fresh lows as investors reacted to gloomy outlooks from a slate of tech biggies and a criminal investigation into a big-name U.S. company......

"Money managers are getting calls saying, 'Just liquidate my holdings. Raise cash," said Will Muggia, manager of the Touchstone Emerging Growth Fund.

"Part of the fear is that there's no place to hide. People are selling everything that hasn't gone down yet."

It can be argued that stocks today are more expensive than at the height of the bubble when taking into account the true cost of options and factoring in pension fund liabilities and lower earnings. Dow 6500 could be overly optimistic.
