NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq ended lower on Monday while the Dow failed to close above its milestone level of 16,000 as stocks sold off late in the session following Carl Icahn's cautious comments on the equities market.
The Dow and the S&P 500 retreated from record levels with less than an hour to go in Monday's session. The Nasdaq, which had been down slightly for most of the day, fell 1.1 percent to a session low.
Speaking at the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit, Icahn said he is "very cautious" on the stock market, saying he could see a "big drop" because earnings at many companies are fueled more by low borrowing costs rather than the strength of management.
He also hinted at his plan for Apple Inc (AAPL), the most valuable U.S. stock by market value, saying he does not want to fight with the management of the iPhone maker. He also said he has no plans to walk away from his investment. The stock extended losses following his comments, ending down 1.2 percent at $518.63 on Monday.
The Nasdaq was hammered by a sell-off in social media and cloud-related stocks, including Facebook (FB.O), down 6.5 percent at $45.83.
Tesla (TSLA.O) also extended losses, down more than 10 percent at $121.58. The electric car maker's stock has lost nearly 24 percent for the month so far.
"People are selling Nasdaq stocks. Tesla has become the poster child for momentum, high-valuation names. It's been under pressure since the earnings report. Its (weakness) has spilled over into other names," said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.
