Dow, S&P 500 end lower on credit woes


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dow and the S&P 500 fell for an eighth day on Friday, as a dramatic late-day comeback stalled out to cap the worst week ever for the S&P 500 amid more anxiety about the condition of credit markets and the threat of a global recession.

    to close unofficially at 899.22.

    The Nasdaq Composite Index inched up 4.39 points, or 0.27 percent, to finish unofficially at 1,649.51.

    For the week, both the Dow and the S&P 500 finished down 18 percent, while the Nasdaq unofficially slid 15.3 percent.
