I bowl overhand
The Dow Jones industrial average (down 211.57 to 12,420.69, Charts) tumbled 200 points, or about 1.6 percent, with roughly two hours left in the session. The broader S&P 500 (down 31.04 to 1,418.33, Charts) index fell 1.9 percent. Both blue-chip averages have fallen for the last four sessions.



It's down, but not 500 points.. although I don't know how current this info it, it suggests (with two hours to close) 3:00
