Here's What I Did as the Dow Suffered Its Largest Single-Day Point Decline in 123 Years

It's pretty hard to miss the headlines if you pull up any news site online or watch the news on television: The stock market took a "beating" on Thursday, Feb. 27.

When the curtain finally closed on the volatile session, all three major U.S. indexes logged their largest single-day point declines in history. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite dipped 414 points, the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) fell nearly 138 points, and the 123-year-old Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) sunk 1,191 points. On a percentage basis, the S&P 500's 4.4% stumble marked its largest decline since August 2011.
