NEW YORK - Investors are turning skeptical about the government’s latest bank bailout plan.
Financial stocks led the market lower Tuesday, reflecting Wall Street’s growing concerns about the government’s ability to restore the health of the banking industry. All the major stock indexes fell more than 2 percent, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which tumbled more than 300 points.
Traders and investors said the lack of specifics from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on how the government would direct more than $1 trillion in public and private support was troubling.
