It was an even worse showing than during the February 8 selloff, when 18 S&P 500 stocks came out in positive territory—a potential sign that as this long bull market gets closer to its 10th birthday, the stock market’s survival rate is declining.

It was a panic reminiscent of other October market crashes, both in 2008 and 1987: Of the Dow’s overall drop, more than 100 points were lost just in the five minutes before the market closed. It was the worst drop since February 8, when the Dow fell 4.1%.

Every single stock in the Dow was down Wednesday. In the S&P 500, only 17 stocks managed to eke out gains for the day—largely recessionary favorites like Dollar Tree (up 1.7%) and Dollar General (up .5%), J.M. Smucker and General Mills (each up about 1.5%), and Campbell Soup (up .5%). (The day’s big winner was generic drugmaker Perrigo, which rose nearly 2% after naming a new CEO earlier this week.)
