As of June 10, the Dow has suffered the “longest losing
streak since the fall of 2002. The market’s last seven-week stretch
of losses began in May 2001, as the dot-com bubble deflated,” reports The
Associated Press
.

As for why stocks are falling, most observers agree: Blame “weaker
hiring, industrial output, and a moribund housing market.” The
economic reports from the past two weeks made that clear.
