NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stock slumped Thursday, with the Dow suffering its second worst session of the year as worries about the global credit market sparked a broad selloff in equities, following a three-session rally.
Additionally, AIG, one of the world's largest insurance companies, warned Thursday morning that it is seeing mortgage delinquencies spreading from subprime to prime. The company also reported higher-than-expected quarterly earnings late Wednesday. AIG (down $2.18 to $64.30, Charts, Fortune 500) lost 2.5 percent, recovering from a 5 percent plunge at the open.
