As the Dow cratered more than 1,500 points on Monday afternoon , Apple was the only one of the index's 30 stocks to escape largely unscathed, down a maximum of 1.05%. It's lower by just 0.48% at the time of writing.

The Dow's big drop on Monday follows a 666-point plunge on Friday, its biggest single-day point drop since October 2008, the index opened down another 250 points on Monday.

ExxonMobil was easily the worst loser of the 30-stock index, down 6.17% at its lowest levels of the sessions. Johnson & Johnson , Chevron and Pfizer were also down more than 3%.

Other tech names were also in the red, but, like Apple, appeared to miss the heaviest part of the selling. Intel was down 1% and Microsoft was down 1.11% at the time of writing.
