New York?Rattled by Wall Streets extreme volatility of late, CNN Moneyline anchor Lou Dobbs hosted the program from a windy ledge high above New Yorks financial district Tuesday. Above: Dobbs broadcasts from high above New York. "The Dow was up 579 points today, rebounding sharply from Mondays 611-point loss," said Dobbs, as he struggled to simultaneously address the camera, retain his grip on the exterior wall of the Prescott Securities Tower, and prevent his tie from blowing into his face from the wind outside the 63rd floor. "Stocks plummeted early in the day, with the industrial average hitting a five-year low of 7,627 by noon, but by 3 p.m., bargain hunters moved in, raising the average to a robust 9,143."Trying hard not to look down, Dobbs analyzed the days wild fluctuations.
