U.S. stocks fell sharply on Friday after a stronger-than-expected jobs report sent interest rates higher.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 665.75 points to close at 25,520.96, capping off the index's sixth-largest points decline ever. The 30-stock index also fell below 26,000. Friday also marked the first time since June 2016 that the Dow fell at least 500 points.

They're going down? Or are they challenging us?

For brevity’s sake for a headline, 666.75 should be rounded to 667, not 666.

Click-bait headline.

“Overheated economy” —meh..!

I think most of this is driven by the ENORMOUS political chit-storm now seen as looming.

A system that punishes doddering WW2 vets trying to visit Dc memorials during the previous Gummint Shutdown, a system that puts illegal aliens b4 Americans:

Would they sink the stock market..?

They will try their hardest.

Fitting. The satanic forces(the left) are winning the battle.

Or are they losing? Negative 666.

Fwiw, this is not the first time we have seen a good jobs report slam the Dow. As now companies will begin to need to compete for labor.

Won’t say that it’s prophetic but member of the Deep State “beast” got revealed today.

The liberals posting at Yahoo! are in Deep Denial. Some have woken up - not enough, yet.

Big surprise since Yahoo! is part of the “justification” for the FISA kangaroo court.

I hate when the media does this. It was 665.75. It’s not some satanic symbol. Oh, but I guess if we round up....

Good grief!

"Dow Plummets 666 points"

Well, yeah. Many of Hillary's hags were a little unhappy today, and many of them probably had no other way that they could see to get more money to the campaigns of their Democrat politicians.

Btw the slam is only temporary. As wages go up and more people are employed, people buy more and business increases.
