Wednesday was a potentially quite important session for the market as a striking reversal hit, and for one of the few days in 2013 bears had the upper hand. Stocks began selling off in the opening minutes of the day and it only accelerated after the 2 PM release of the Federal Reserve's minutes.

In the end the S&P 500 fell 1.24% and the NASDAQ 1.53%. Small caps got hit especially hard as the Russell 2000 was crunched to the tune of 1.99 Original post: STTG Market Recap Feb 20, 2013
