It's only one piece, a big piece 8%, but only one piece. WFC is down over 1% --- it's over 10% of the XLF.
Sorry, my question isn't technically because XLF is down but because all other major financials are down (I was being lazy and just said XLF down, instead of listing. Sorry)
GS -1.07%
MS -2.3%
BAC -1.98%
WFC -1.38%
Even USB is -.62%

And then it hits home!"

(anyone else feel like their eyes ache and are burning like heck from looking at this most of the day? I have to close my eyes with drops at times for 10-15 minutes...I should see an ophthalmologist, I think )
