The Dow Jones indus- trials closed with a loss of about 140 points, having been down almost 280 ear- lier. That followed a brief plunge of nearly 1,000 points on Thursday, the biggest one-day drop in the Dow’s history. The erratic trading Friday was no sur- prise — stocks often fluc- tuate sharply right after the market suffers a big slide. Traders were still anx- Stocks falter after wild day, Europe woes linger Wall Street ious amid lingering ques- tions about what caused Thursday’s sudden drop. Several possibilities were being investigated, but as of late Friday no clear explanation had emerged. The market looked past a surprisingly strong report on the U.S. jobs market and focused instead on the harrowing plunge the day before and the latest moves in Europe’s spreading debt crisis that had helped trig- ger Thursday’s big drop. According to prelimi- nary calculations, the Dow closed down 139.89, or 1.3 percent, at 10,380.43 The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 17.27, or 1.5 percent, at 1,110.88, while the Nasdaq composite fell 54, or 2.3 percent, to 2,265.64 Falling stocks outpaced gainers two-to-one on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume was a heavy 2.4 billion shares.

In our rather large family, our Mother was the embodiment of those wise words. Mom was the centerpiece of all our celebrations and she had such a wonderful sense of humor. Her favorite saying was “A family that played together, stayed together.” From the youngest to the oldest we played dominoes, card games or croquet. She gave us the gift of fun and the sweet sound of her laughter was like a child’s giggle. Moma taught us the value of friendships and that we are our brother’s keeper. She never met a stranger and always had a kind word or helping hand to offer you. Her generous heart gave to all that crossed her path. Oprah Winfrey said “Mothers are the true spiritual teachers” and our Mom taught us by example. As a mentor she taught us how to navigate through life with grace and cour- age…as a teacher, that you were never to old to learn something new and as a friend…treat them as you would like to be treated. A Mother’s love is the most precious gift that you can receive. It fills your heart to over- flowing with kindness, compassion, joy and laughter. I will hold it close to my heart and remember it for a lifetime. If there is comfort in my Mothers passing it is to know that she is now reaping the rewards of a life well lived. I know that she has already earned her wings…and they are golden. I would love to hear your Mothers story…email Iamahumanangel_ru@yahoo.com Dow down 5.7 percent for the week and erased its gains for the year. The S&P fell about 6.4 percent, while the Nasdaq was off 7.9 percent for the week. The S&P and Nasdaq also went into the red for 2010. The week’s losses would put the market about well toward what experts call a ‘‘correc- tion,’’ usually defined as a drop of between 10 per- cent and 20 percent fol- lowing a sustained rise. The Dow is now 7.4 per- cent off its recent high of 11,205.03 reached on April 26. The S&P 500 is down 8.7 percent from its recent high of 1,217.28 reached April 23. Oil fell, and gold rose.
