This Hedge Fund Disaster Has a Lesson for Every Stock Market Investor
Monday was another turbulent session on Wall Street, as the stock market saw large-cap stocks recover from sharp declines to begin the day. After having been down as much as 165 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) managed to finish at a record high. But modest declines for the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) actually understated the damage in the rest of the market, as a popular measure of small-cap stocks plunged nearly 3% on the day.
