All three of the US indexes dropped significantely today(7-24-07) with the NASDAQ dropping almost 2%. Will there be a rebound in the next few days like has happened all the other times in recent months when there was a big drop? Or, has the subprime mortgage woes finally taken too big a bite from the economy? Some stocks that I follow that were down today usually did not drop(or dropped very little) in the previous big drops. So this may bean things are different this time.

Stocks prices fluctuate but the subprime implosion is making an impact on the market to be sure. A few hedge funds lost most of their value and some are questioning several Wall St investment banks' floatability (including Bear Stearns).

And the credit problem is now creeping into the business arena like with Chrysler having problems getting financing.

Hi : Yes, this would certainly create a double low to investment bankers companies like Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Bear Sterns who have exposure both to mortgage related business and as facilitator in investment dealership.

Yes, this is true. I heard yesterday that the Chrysler sale is in trouble due to financing difficulties. The current interest rates are climbing but keep in mind that the typical interest rate in China is 10% although the growth rate there is also much higher than the US economy growth rate.
