Dow plunges 679 points to trade below 9,000 for the first time in 5 years in afternoon sell-off

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks plunged Thursday, sending the Dow Jones industrial average down 679 points -- more than 7 percent -- to its lowest level in five years. Stocks took a nosedive after a major credit-rating agency said it might cut its rating on General Motors and Ford, further rattling investors already fretting over the impact of tight credit on the economy.

The Standard & Poor''''''''''''''''s 500 index also fell more than 7 percent.

The declines came on the one-year anniversary of the closing highs of the Dow and the S&P. The Dow has lost 5,585 points, or 39.4 percent, since closing at 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007. It''''''''''''''''s the worst run for the Dow since the nearly two-year bear market that ended in December 1974 when the Dow lost 45 percent. The S&P 500, meanwhile, is off 655 points, or 41.9 percent, since recording its high of 1,565.15.

U.S. stock market paper losses totaled $872 billion Thursday and the value of shares over all has tumbled a stunning $8.33 trillion since last year''''''''''''''''s high. That''''''''''''''''s based on figures measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, which tracks 5,000 U.S.-based companies'''''''''''''''' stocks and represents almost all stocks traded in America.

Thursday''''''''''''''''s sell-off came as Standard & Poor''''''''''''''''s Ratings Services put General Motors Corp. and its finance affiliate GMAC LLC under review to see if its rating should be cut. The action means there is a 50 percent chance that S&P will lower GM''''''''''''''''s and GMAC''''''''''''''''s ratings in the next three months. GM has been struggling with weak car sales in North America.

S&P also put Ford Motor Co. on credit watch negative. The ratings agency said that GM and Ford have adequate liquidity now, but that could change in 2009.

GM, one of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow industrials, fell $2.15, or 31 percent, to $4.76, while Ford fell 58 cents, or 22 percent, to $2.08.

"The story is getting to be like that movie ''''''''''''''''Groundhog Day,''''''''''''''''" said Arthur Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co. He pointed to the still-frozen credit markets, and Libor, the bank-to-bank lending rate that remains stubbornly high despite interest rate cuts this week by the Federal Reserve and other major central banks.

"Until that starts coming down, you''''''''''''''''ll be hard-pressed to find anyone getting excited about stocks," Hogan said. "Everything we''''''''''''''''re seeing is historic. The problem is historic, the solutions are historic, and unfortunately, the sell-off is historic. It''''''''''''''''s not the kind of history you want to be making."

The Dow ended the day at its lows, finishing down 678.91, or 7.3 percent, at 8,579.19. The blue chips hadn''''''''''''''''t closed below 9,000 since June 30, 2003, and haven''''''''''''''''t closed at this level since May 21, 2003.

The Dow''''''''''''''''s tumble in the last seven sessions is its steepest ever in terms of points and the worst percentage decline since a downturn ending Oct. 26, 1987, when the Dow lost 23.8 percent. That sell-off included Black Monday, the Oct. 19, 1987 market crash that saw the Dow fall nearly 23 percent in a single day.

Broader stock indicators also tumbled Thursday. The S&P 500 fell 75.02, or 7.6 percent, to 909.92, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 95.21, or 5.5 percent, to 1,645.12.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 47.37, or 8.7 percent, to 499.20.

A wave of fear about the economy sent stocks lower in the final two hours of trading after a volatile morning in which major indicators like the Dow and the S&P 500 index bobbed up and down. The Nasdaq, with a bevy of tech stocks, spent much of the session higher but eventually declined as the sell-off intensified. Still, its losses were less severe because of the relatively modest drops in names like Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp.

On the New York Stock Exchange, declining issues came to nearly 3,000, while fewer than 250 advanced.

The sluggishness in the credit markets that triggered much of the heavy selling in markets around the world since mid-September appeared little changed Thursday following days of efforts by the Federal Reserve and other central banks to resuscitate lending.

Libor, the bank lending benchmark, for three-month dollar loans rose to 4.75 percent from 4.52 percent on Wednesday. That signals that banks remain hesitant to make loans for fear they won''''''''''''''''t be paid back.

The Fed and other leading central banks this week lowered key interest rates to help unclog the credit markets and promote lending to help the global economy. While a rate cut can take up to a year to work its way through the economy, the move was aimed as a boost to investor sentiment.

"We''''''''''''''''re stuck in a morass and I think it''''''''''''''''s going to take quite some time to come out of it," said Stephen Carl, principal and head of equity trading at The Williams Capital Group.

Demand remained high for short-term Treasurys, a refuge for investors willing to trade modest returns to protect their money. The yield on the three-month Treasury bill, which moves opposite its price, fell to 0.58 percent from 0.63 percent late Wednesday. Longer-term debt prices fell, with the yield on the 10-year note rising to 3.79 percent from 3.65 percent late Wednesday.

Investors across markets were mulling a plan being considered by the Bush administration to invest in hobbled U.S. banks as a way to stabilize the financial sector. The $700 billion rescue package signed into law last week allows the Treasury Department to inject fresh capital into financial institutions and obtain ownership shares in return.

Britain rolled out a similar plan, though no U.K. bank has received any investments. In Iceland, the government now has control of the country''''''''''''''''s three major banks as it struggles to contain the troubles there.

Wall Street is also looking for any effects of short selling now that a three-week ban imposed by regulators has expired. Short selling is a technique in which investors borrow shares in a company from a broker and sell them, hoping to buy them back later at a lower price. Essentially, it''''''''''''''''s a bet that a stock''''''''''''''''s price will fall. Short sellers can lose money if they have to repurchase the stock after it has risen.

Some analysts believe the unprecedented ban on short selling -- an effort to bolster investor confidence -- did more harm than good at a time of historic market volatility. They contend that short sellers help the market rally by covering their bets and creating demand for stocks.

"I think the market''''''''''''''''s way oversold. But I can''''''''''''''''t stand in the way of this falling knife -- I''''''''''''''''d get sliced open," said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors. "Investors are just saying, get me out at any price."

He also said that with the short-selling rule back in play, hedge funds might be shorting again to make up for their forced liquidations.

Energy names were among the biggest decliners as the price of oil fell and investors worried about a slowing economy. Exxon Mobil Corp. fell $9, or 12 percent, to $68, while Chevron Corp. fell $9.10, or 12 percent, to $64.

Light, sweet crude fell $1.81 to settle at $86.62 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest closing price since October last year.

Health insurer WellPoint Inc. fell $3.94, or 9.7 percent, to $36.50, while insurer and investment manager Lincoln National Corp. fell $9.66, or 35 percent, to $18.31.

The tech sector saw less selling than other parts of the market after IBM Corp. affirmed its forecast.

IBM fell $1.55, or 1.7 percent, to $89. Meanwhile, Intel fell 65 cents, or 4 percent, to $15.60 and Microsoft fell 71 cents, or 3.1 percent, to $22.30.

Consolidated trading volume on the NYSE came to 8.14 billion consolidated shares compared with 8.54 billion traded Wednesday.

In Asia, Japan''''''''''''''''s Nikkei 225 closed down 0.50 percent while the Hang Seng added 3.31 percent. In Europe, Britain''''''''''''''''s FTSE-100 fell 1.21 percent, Germany''''''''''''''''s DAX fell 2.53 percent, and France''''''''''''''''s CAC-40 declined 1.55 percent.

He He thế thì VN chỉ cần bỏ tí tiền ra mua GM, Ford là có cả nền công nghiệp ô tô rồi, khỏi phải nội địa hoá mà là ngoại địa hoá luôn

Đừng coi thường Mỹ:
- Mỹ là nước sản xuất lớn nhất và cũng tiêu dùng lớn nhất, chiếm 25% thị trường thế giới. VD, các công ty thủy sản của Việt Nam, thị trường Mỹ chiếm tới 50% tỷ trọng doanh thu.
- Mỹ rất muốn xuất hàng ra bên ngoài, nhưng khó vì giá cả không cạnh tranh, nay đồng đô la yếu là cơ hội, nhưng có thể sẽ không lớn, vì người Mỹ đã đi khắp thế giới, họ có nhà máy, chi nhánh ở khắp các nước, nên việc xuất hàng trực tiếp không phải là yếu tố quan trọng nhất. VD ở Việt nam, P & G, Unilever,...
- Việc giảm tiêu dùng của Mỹ là hiện hữu, nhưng đó cũng là cơ hội cho Mỹ làm mới lại mình, những gì không phù hợp sẽ bị xóa bỏ, hệ thống tài chính phải cải tiến lại, một nước Mỹ hiện đại là thế mà lại có cho vay dưới chuẩn, khiếp.
Nói chúng, tình hình xấu thì đã phản ánh vào giá cả rồi, vấn đề là thời gian để tất cả bình tĩnh lại, điểm lại thiệt hại và đi lên.
Không thể coi thường nước Mỹ, cũng như không thể coi thường VN hay bất kỳ quốc gia nào.
