Stocks Fall Sharply On Bank Uncertainty/Dollar Gains

U.S. equity markets were declining sharply Tuesday morning as investors remained apprehensive regarding the state of the nation's largest banks.
Investors are concerned about the possibility of bank nationalizations, said Matthew Carniol, chief currency strategist at TheLFB-forex.com. The effects of Mr. Geithner's speech from last week are still reverberating.
The part of the speech most troubling dealt with the stress-tests that the government will perform. No one understands the pass/fail criteria, or what might be the ultimate fate of a bank which fails the test.
Financials were leading the declines, with the XLF financial sector ETF down 7.57% on the day so far. The DOW was lower by 3.42% in recent trade, while the broader S&P 500 was off by 4.13%. The technology-focused NASDAQ was lower by 3.81%.
The dollar was the main beneficiary of the risk-aversion move, with a gain of 1.84% against the euro, 2.08% on Australia's dollar and 0.68% on the pound. The yen, which usually gains in these situations, was lower by 0.81% against the greenback.
Treasuries rose as stocks were sold, with the benchmark 10-year note down 21 basis points to 2.69%, a three-week low. Two-year note yields fell nine basis points to 0.87%.
Crude for March delivery was recently trading lower by $2.56 (-7.04%) to $34.86 per barrel.
Gold for April delivery was trading higher by a massive $29.80 (3.17%) to $971.30.

Lil Kim is notorious for her shocking songs and brazen attitude, but when she attended the L.A. Pride 2012 festival in West Hollywood it was her face, not her lyrics, that had fans shocked.

Lil Kim showed off a drastically different-looking face when she took to the stage to perform during L.A. Pride. Is it a case of plastic surgery gone wrong?

Overall, this an example of plastic surgery gone bad, celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Garo Kassabian of Lift MD Aesthetics Beverly Hills, who has not treated the rapper, tells RadarOnline.com. It looks like she had a brow lift from top to bottom, leaving her brows looking uneven and also a nostril reduction.

Kassabian also commented on the lopsided look Lil Kim's face has taken.

It looks as though her lower lip on the left side is not working well, the plastic surgeon told RadarOnline.com. It looks like her lips are thinner than before. It's possible that she had a lip reduction performed.

The 37-year-old rapper, who continues to feud with fellow female hip-hop star, Nicki Minaj, looks dramatically different than she has in years' past.

Her cheeks appeared extremely puffy, suggesting she has had cheek implants, and the result made her face appear much rounder. Curiously Kim's lips looked considerably smaller than they have in the past, noted the Daily Mail.

Fans took to Twitter to lament over the rapper's new look.

I'll never understand why lil Kim destroyed her natural beauty, I always thought she was beautiful! tweeted user Flaws&All.
