A bad day for stocks: How did Idaho do? 

It was bloody day on Wall Street. Fears about the state of the U.S. economy on the heels of Alan Greenspan’s dire prediction and after a huge sell-off in the Chinese stock market led to the worst day for the U.S. market since 9.11.01. Here’s a paragraph from an Associated Press report:

Still, traders' dwindling confidence was knocked down further by data showing that the economy may be decelerating more than anticipated. A Commerce Department report that orders for durable goods in January dropped by the largest amount in three months exacerbated jitters about the direction of the U.S. economy, just a day after former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the United States may be headed for a recession.

  Banks were hit especially hard among companies with Idaho ties. Wells Fargo dropped 1.28 per share, and Zions Bank dropped 1.66. The other big loser was Hewlett-Packard, which dropped 1.37 per share. Here’s how other Idaho companies performed:

• Building Material Holdings – down .52
• Cascade Bancorp – down .68
