Economy

Dow plummets on Walmart's disappointing numbers. Costco lays people off. Treasury rates reach two year high. Uh-oh.

"The Dow saw its first back-to-back triple-digit drop since June 19-20, when it tumbled nearly 560 points. That swoon was sparked by the Federal Reserve, which said after its June meeting that it would start dialing down its market-friendly bond-buying program later this year if the economy and jobs market continue to improve."

That doesn't sound like the economy is improving to me.
