Market Wrap-Up

Equities were cut down by a fusillade of bad news: Goldman Sachs slapped "Sell" calls on Citigroup and General Motors; Oracle, Research in Motion and Nike all issued cautious outlooks; the dollar slipped and oil spiked.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index lost 80 to finish at 2321. Oil rose more than $5 to $139.64 a barrel.
