NEW YORK, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks plunged yet again
on Thursday, as a frantic flight from risk on investors'
deepening economic fears left the benchmark Standard & Poor's
500 index at its lowest level since 1997 -- completing the
erasure of more than a decade of stock market gains.
The Dow Jones industrial average slid 444.99 points, or
5.56 percent, to close unofficially at 7,552.29. The Standard
& Poor's 500 Index plunged 54.14 points, or 6.71 percent, to
finish unofficially at 752.44. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell
70.30 points, or 5.07 percent, to close unofficially at
1,316.12.
