FTSE100, worst performers.

Fear appears to be back in the market whether it is QE tapering, China growth, China banking system, there's always something to give the markets the excuse to fall once sentiment has changed. It would seem sentiment has changed in the last month or two which is hardly a surprise given the bull run before. Whether this is just a correction that will see markets revert later in the year to their usual seasonal bullishness cycle remains to be seen.

For now, it is worth having a look at the FTSE100 worst performers because despite all the bullishness about some companies and sectors have seen crash level falls.
