Stocks fell more than 2 percent on Friday, dragging the Dow into negative territory for 2012, according to Reuters. The fall was blamed on a weak jobs report that increased the unemployment rate to 8.2 percent. This report capped a week of soft information from China and the ongoing debt crisis in Europe. US Treasury bonds fell to record lows along with German bunds. Overall, the Dow fell 274 points to 12118.
