US stocks slid yesterday as bearish comments by Wall Street analysts rattled an already nervous market, giving investors a reason to pull the plug on a technology rebound.

Most sectors rolled back, dragging major stock indexes lower and completely reversing Wednesday's gains as sellers moved in near the end of the day.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 211.43 points, or 2.01 per cent, to 10,323.92, erasing the 113-point gain logged a day ago. The blue-chip gauge was at its lowest close since April 14th and is now down 10 per cent for the year.
