Market Continues Roller Coaster Ride

Revelation 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"

The Market hit a flat track today as U.S. stocks rebounded a bit after the Dow plunged more than 200 points in the late afternoon on Wednesday.  The Dow Jones industrial average ended up 77 points, or 0.5%, after initially bouncing in and out of positive territory.

This roller coaster has put investors in a jumpy frame of mind while most braced for next week’s Federal Reserve meeting on interest rates.  

The Dow, which typically moves about 150 points between peak and tough throughout the trading day, has experienced average daily swings of more than 400 points since August 19.

The market ride was punctuated by the Dow’s 1,000-point nosedive on August 24, its largest one day point decline on record.
