U.S. Futures Fall; S&P 500, Dow Contracts Drop - 2008/10/24 19:15
Hi guys! Weekend is here and I've got big plans! But first I want to make some profits during this last trading day 
U.S. stock futures tumbled, sending contracts on the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index down by their daily limit, as lower sales and profits at automakers and technology companies heightened concern the financial crisis is infecting the broader economy.
S&P 500 futures expiring in December fell 60, or 6.6 percent, to 855.2 as of 11:40 a.m. in London. Dow futures dropped 550, or 6.3 percent, to 8,224, while Nasdaq-100 Index futures retreated 82.5, or 6.6 percent, to 1,171.
