Stocks Sell Off, Led By Materials, Energy, Financials: rich becomes poorer each passing day how odumba finds millionaires to tax ? By Mark Gongloff FactSet Another bad close. Click for gigantic image. Out of the water, everybody. We wondered rhetorically this morning how long a market rally based on a cocktail of technicals and rumors could last, and we got an emphatic answer in the final hour of trading: Not very long. Hey, at least the market ended “off the lows,” as the Twitter joke goes. But only by a few points, at best. The Dow ended down nearly 180 at 11010.90, after trading early as high as 11317 — that’s a 300-point intraday loss, with much of it coming in the final hour. The VIX spiked 9% to 41 as the market melted down and hopes for a quick eurozone fix evaporated. The S&P 500's 2.1% drop was led by the materials sector, off 4.5%, energy, down 3% and financials, off 2.9%. These are the same groups that led the rebound higher the past handful of days. Materials took an unusually heavy beating as the commodity selloff resumed, led by metals. And the Dow transports fell 2.9%, a problem for Dow theorists. What worked today? Defensives — telecom and utilities were down less than 1%.
