The Dow closed down 369.88 points on Monday, and investors let out a sigh of relief, figuring it could have been much worse. After all, for a moment on Monday, the Dow dropped a jaw-dropping 800.06 points -- its biggest intraday fall ever -- as nervous investors were spooked that the credit crisis has deepened around the world as European banks stumbled. Financials continued to make deals either to weather possible worsening conditions or just to capitalize on the declining market. Overall, the Dow closed at 9,955.50 (the first time below 10,000 in five years) while the Nasdaq declined 83.56...
