http://www.StockMarketFunding.com Dow Jones Down Over 500 Points Massive Stock Market Sell Off Continues. Stocks decline for 8 out of 9 trading days. Wall Street Plunges on Economic Fears; Dow Sinks More Than 400 Points; S&P;, Nasdaq Down 4%; VIX Soars. QE3 coming, but won't save economy. Oil falls to lowest level in over a month. SMF Warned Investors and Traders of the Pending Correction on 5/3/2011. WATCH! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVM7GppAULM Concerns about global economies continued to wreak havoc on commodities today. In turn, the CRB Commodity Index dropped 2.8% to a near seven-month low. Oil suffered one of the steepest drops. Specifically, crude oil prices settled at 86.63 per barrel for a 5.8% loss. That marked its greatest single-day drop since May 5 -when it fell more than 8% - on the back of concerns about global economic health. Futures prices had recorded intraday lows of $86.04, which marks the commodity's worst level since February 18. Natural gas prices closed lower by 3.4% at $3.95 per MMBtu. Futures prices had actually traded higher in early pit trade, but bearish inventory data spurred a reversal that took the commodity as low as $3.92 per MMBtu, which made for its worst level since mid-March. However, safe havens like gold and silver benefited from weakness in the broader commodity complex and a plunging stock market. In morning trade, December gold, which eventually settled lower by 0.5% to $1658.20 per ounce, rallied to a new all-time high at $1684.90 per ounce. September silver, which lost 5.6% to close at $39.42, traded back above $42 to a three-month high of $42.30 per ounce. The late morning plunge suffered by the pair of precious metals took gold as low as $1642.20 per ounce and silver down to $38.47 per ounce. Many traders attributed the sell-off to liquidation that followed margin calls in other asset classes.
