DJIA down over 8% since start of 2009

The DJIA started the year slightly under 8,800 or around 8,780 and as of today (10 AM CDT – Jan 15,2009) the market average is down to 8,060 or a decline of around 8.2%. With reatil sales down and foreclosures up, we’re still in for a rough ride. Hopefully we are able to to turn things around here shortly.
