歐洲債務危機

????日期：2011年8月10日

????道瓊斯指數：下跌520點，跌幅4.6%

????標準普爾降低美國主權信用評級，美國舊傷未愈，又不得不將注意力轉向歐洲。外界對于歐債危機和歐洲信用評級下降的擔憂日甚一日。當天下午，美國銀行（Bank of America）高調召開投資者電話會議，結果卻于事無補，因為美國銀行CEO布萊恩?莫尼漢根本無法消除投資者對銀行業健康狀況和美國總體經濟預期的擔憂。

????投資者小心翼翼，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.
