WALL STREET WOES

August 27, 1998
The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer Transcript

The worsening economic situation in Russia triggered a massive sell-off on Wall Street today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 357 points, its third largest point drop ever. Following a background report, Jim Lehrer and guests discuss the reasons behind the stock market's plunge

Don, the media will always find lots of reasons for a market drop but I assure you the "Russian Crisis" was a huge factor blamed for rising volatility in 1998.

In addition most layoffs these days are met with rising stock prices as investors welcome the thought of lowered costs to the employer.
