[Vision2020] Aug. 4, 2011: Dow looks at 500-point loss; 2011 gains are wiped out

[Ted Moffett]

Poor Obama...

If the economy does not improve substantially, his re-election is rather
doubtful... On the upside, I may be misguided in this evaluation, but if
Romney is the republican presidential nominee, I will be far less concerned
about the potential negative impacts of his possible presidency, than I was
regarding W. Bush, who I though before his election, and still think now,
would be and was, a disaster for the US and the world.

 Dow looks 500-point loss; 2011 gains are wiped out

Stocks plunge as worries about global growth are causing traders to dump
stocks and seek safety. Gold briefly tops $1,680 but falls back. Treasury
yields fall as the dollar rises.
