Here is a hilarious post from the Yahoo Symantec board:

One coherent thought. As an investor, I feel like I should get at least one good reason why this company went from 70 to 50 in two weeks with nothing else going on in industry or market? And I don't want Joe from Greensburg, PA telling me it's the MMs manipulating the price. I would like something tangible, something I can put my hands on and mush around like silly putty. |
