2011美国股市11大疯狂时刻

欧洲债务危机

    日期：2011年8月10日

    道琼斯指数：下跌520点，跌幅4.6%

    标准普尔降低美国主权信用评级，美国旧伤未愈，又不得不将注意力转向欧洲。外界对于欧债危机和欧洲信用评级下降的担忧日甚一日。当天下午，美国银行（Bank of America）高调召开投资者电话会议，结果却于事无补，因为美国银行CEO布莱恩•莫尼汉根本无法消除投资者对银行业健康状况和美国总体经济预期的担忧。

    投资者小心翼翼，草木皆兵。股市再度大跌。

European woes

    Date: August 10, 2011

    Dow: -520, down 4.6%

    Still licking our wounds from the S&P downgrade, the U.S. turned its attention to Europe, where anxiety over the nation's ongoing debt crisis and a possible European credit downgrade began to climb. A highly publicized Bank of America investor conference call that afternoon didn't make matters any better when CEO Brian Moynihan failed to ease investor concerns over the health of the banking industry and the nation's overall economic outlook.

    Investors were feeling skittish and fickle. Stocks tanked.
