Analyst warnings on the valuation of dotcom bubbles are forcing investors to sell large technology stocks. At the same time, investors continue to dispose of shares of real estate and utilities that are generally considered safer investments in uncertain environments. The S&P 500 closed with a 38-point drop, losing 1.1 percent on Friday after three consecutive days of decline, ending the week with a 0.65 percent drop. Thus, it is now the third week after reaching a historic high as the index falls.
