Stock market jitters?
Stocks took a stomach-turning dive on Monday, sending the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 1,000 points in a matter of seconds. The market recovered some of its losses but was still way down for the day.
Investors around the world are worried about China, the world's second-largest economic power and a huge market for American products. China devalued its currency two weeks ago and has shown other signs of economic weakness.
Two hours into trading, the Dow was down 454 points, or 2.8 percent, at 16,005. At its worst point, just after the opening bell, the Dow was down an eye-popping 1,089 points, or 6.6 percent.
"Fear has taken over," Adam Sarhan, CEO of the investment company Sarhan Capital, told CNBC. "The market topped out last week."

Last week was the worst for the market in four years, and the Dow had already entered what is known as a correction, down more than 10 percent from its all-time high, reached in May.
On Monday, the Standard & Poor's 500 index, a broader gauge of the overall market, was down more than 5 percent before recovering, and the Nasdaq, loaded with technology stocks, was down more than 8 percent.In percentage terms, the drop in the Dow, even at its worst point on Monday, was not nearly as severe as in historic stock market crashes. In 1987, on what came to be known as Black Monday, the Dow fell by 22 percent.
But the free-fall was more than enough to get investors' attention. It also got the attention of Lawrence Summers, the former treasury secretary.
REMEMBER: OUR INDUSTRY HAS NEVER HAD A DOWN QUARTER!
With DWP you're on a pretty boring ride: it's only ever gone up.
