Fears of a pandemic resurgence and other bad news finally caught up with the markets last week. Tempered optimism brought a sharp retreat in stocks on Thursday, in the wake of Federal Reserve commentary and even the Nasdaq hitting an all-time high. The tech-heavy index ended the week down more than 2%, while the Dow Jones industrials and the S&P 500 were down around 5% or so.
