Dow drops sharply and closes below 15,000

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

A sell-off in stocks accelerated Thursday, as major indexes fell 1% while Washington remains paralyzed and the nation approaches the deadline for raising the U.S. debt ceiling.



The Dow ended below 15,000, a psychologically important level, for the first time in almost a month. The Nasdaq and S& P 500 also declined sharply.

Meetings at the White House between congressional leaders and President Obama have failed to produce a breakthrough. Thursday marked Day 3 of the government shutdown, and Washington gave no sign of preventing a fourth. It's making investors jittery. CNNMoney's Fear & Greed index even briefly slid into Extreme Fear mode.

Thursday's losses also meant the Dow and S& P 500 have dropped for nine of the past 11 trading days,

" I think probably at the beginning of the week people didn't think it would take so long to sort out," said David Jones, chief market strategist at IG Markets in London. " The fact that it's dragged on is making people a little bit nervous."

Doug DePietro, an equity trader at investment bank Evercore, noted that the S& P 500 also broke below its 50-day moving average, a key technical level that triggered additional selling by institutional investors.

" With each day that goes by without a deal, confidence continues to wane," DePietro said.

More troubling for Wall Street is the risk that the political stalemate could prevent the debt ceiling from being raised, meaning the government may not be able to pay all its bills later this month.

OBAMA keep hinting to wall street.   He indirectly telling the Republicans holding his budget proposal that, if   the GOV remain shut, financial institution and wall street is going to be hit hard.

What that mean is DOW would plunge................. shares would plunge................. he knows   some big wig of Republican hold large shares in some huge companies.....................................

Their action of holding up the approval of budgets would ultimately   harm their own   wealth.................

He tries to hurt them where it would hurt most - in their pocket via   wall street.   To hopefully force the Republican to give in.

In a way - (OBAMA) he is torturing the Republican and indirectly the world stocks market..................

Its his last term as President , he care less if People starts to hate him................his health insurance covers the poor, he only cares for the less fortunate and not the middle class or Wall streets................

.............the longer they are at logger head, the longer stocks holders suffers as price of stocks slights by day with uncertainty.................. 

Obama is playing a mind game with the Republican...........a game of brinkmanship   see who brink first who loose.........................

BUT I think there will be no winners if they carry on like that............................
