SMILE? Stocks Suffer Biggest Fall Since Sept. 11 Tuesday September 3, 6:39 pm ET By Elizabeth Lazarowitz NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks spun lower on Tuesday, with the broad market suffering its worst decline in nearly a year, after weak U.S. manufacturing data whipped up fears a tepid economic rebound will crimp corporate profits. The Standard & Poor's 500 index (CBOE:^SPX - News) chalked up its biggest one-day percentage drop -- down 4.15 percent -- since the market reopened after the Sept. 11 attacks. The harrowing decline made investors question whether Wall Street will keep crawling back from 5-year lows struck in July. "It's a broken record of concerns about the economy, taking down earnings numbers," and corporate governance issues, said Peter Gottlieb, portfolio manager at First Albany Asset Management. "At the beginning of August, we had some sense that we had established a bottom, but now the market doesn't seem so sure." Indeed, the market got off to a bad start in September, historically the worst month for stocks with an average fall of 0.4 percent in the last 50 years. New evidence that the expansion in the U.S. factory sector may have stalled sent investors scrambling out of stocks, fearful that poor prospects for corporate profits could knock the wind out of Wall Street's recent rally. Nice going there MR TAXCUT W...... Just adding fuel to the fire to make sure that no one will have any money except the wall street rich shorting bastards that have created this mess to begin with. CC
