'Service' Economy Tanking

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks tanked Tuesday afternoon, after a report showing a big slowdown in the services sector of the economy amplified fears that a recession is underway or imminent.

With just over 2 hours left in the session, the Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) had lost about 300 points. Should the blue-chip index end where it stood at roughly 1:45 p.m. ET, it would be the Dow's second biggest one-day point loss of the year.
