Stocks slide as investors' malaise continues
It is not getting better ! ! !

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks closed moderately lower Friday as investors' pessimistic view of the economy deepened.

There was little reason for investors to buy. There were no reports to offset Thursday's disappointing news that growth in the domestic economy continues to slow. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 57 points a day after falling 144. The other major indexes also fell moderately.

"We're not seeing any significant growth prospects," said Peter Costa, president of Empire Executions. "Why be in the market if there's no (near-term) prospects for growth?"

In the final arena, there will be no judges,
Only witnesses to my greatness.
