Tuesday was a down day for the broad U.S. markets, coming a day after the Dow posted one of its top 3 performances, in terms of points, in the history of the index. All three of the major indices gave back practically all of their gains from Monday, and all of this sell off came in the last couple hours of trading. The S&P 500 sectors were mostly negative. The most positive sectors were utilities and real estate up 1.5% and 0.1%, respectively. The worst performing sectors were technology and financials down 3.7% and 2.5%, respectively.

Crude oil was down 1.9% at $64.66.

Gold was down 0.7% at $1,345.00.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
