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 stepped out on Wednesday night for BET's Rip the Runway 2012 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, but apparently left her eyebrows at home, as they were missing from here face in photos.

No it wasn't a bad Photoshop job, but Lil Kim, 37, appears to have lost her brows completely. She showed up to the event with spider lashes, a blotchy complexion and completely bleached eyebrows. She performed during the show wearing a half-sequin, half-sheer jumpsuit with giant shoulder pads.

David Woods from Twirlit had some harsh criticism for the rap diva, who is trying to make a comeback.

Seriously, what is she thinking with those eyebrows? They aren't really there, but they also aren't not there. It's like they are trying to hide behind her skin because they are embarrassed to be seen on her face, he wrote.

Twitter users seem to hold similar opinions.

Lil Kim is no longer human. She's one of the cat people, wrote Twitter user TheXDExperience.

I can't even laugh no more at Lil Kim... The way she's looking is just sad, KamilleLeai wrote.

Her eyebrows were last seen when she did a performance in early February but have since gone M.I.A.

Lil Kim has been enduring some harsh criticism recently amidst her fight with Nicki Minaj, who is almost a mirror image. The hip hop diva feud seemingly commenced when Lil Kim appeared on the talk show, Watch What Happens Live.

I'm pretty sure I feel the same way everybody else feels about it now. If you have to make a song called 'Stupid Hoe,' you must be a stupid hoe, said Lil Kim on the show.

The BET Rip The Runway special will air on Monday, March 21.
