If last week was about the debt ceiling drama, this week is about the stock slide. While the Dow was able to climb .54%, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished down for the day. The S&P 500 is now down 12% from its April 29 closing high. The Nasdaq has fallen 8.13% to a level not seen since November 2010. The Dow Jones fell over 5% for the week to a level not seen since October 2008. In other words, it’s hectic. Why not take your mind off things with some interesting weekend reads?
