The Reuters sloppiness is starting to irritate me. I mean... virtual editor better than none at all:
dailynews.yahoo.com

IBM, known to be less vulnerable to market swings due to its sheer size and wide range of technology products, is off 21 percent this year and has underperformed the S&P 500 by 9 percent. Hewlett-Packard is down 48 percent on the year and has underperformed the S&P 500 by 40 percent.

Hmmmm.

IBM: minus 21 %; underperf. S&P by 9% so implies S&P = -12%

HWP: minus 48%; underperf. S&P by 40% so implies S&P = -8%

This is the way the World ends. BANG.
