New York (CNN Business) Stocks fell again Friday, dashing investors' hopes that the market could end an awful week on a positive note. The Nasdaq reentered bear market territory as technology stocks once again moved lower. The Dow fell 140 points midday after rising as much as 394 points earlier in the morning. Technology stocks fell Friday on continued negative sentiment about the US-China trade relationship, regulation and a general adversity to risk. Stocks are on pace for the worst December since the Great Depression , and the Nasdaq briefly entered a bear market Thursday before tumbling back there Friday.
