Here’s the action of the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week: down 273 points; up 274.8 points; down 334.97 points. In the span of a week the stock market has taken investors on a stomach-churning roller-coaster ride and futures are pointing to a weak open this morning.

But that inadequately explains the underlying fears that are causing the gyrations and sending the timid to the exits. Wall Street On Parade will have an in-depth analysis of the core issues this coming Monday.
