Stock Market Rally Struggles
The stock market posted more disappointing action Tuesday, as the major stock indexes closed with more heavy losses. Amid the recent volatility, now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column.
Tuesday’s The Big Picture commented, “The Nasdaq registered its fourth straight loss and its sixth in seven sessions. A 1.2% drop marks the sixth time in which the tech-heavy composite index fell 1% or more in the month of February alone.”
