Stocks Slammed to 6th Straight Down Week
Fri Oct 4, 5:03 PM ET

The following is an excerpt:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - "Stocks skidded on Friday, knocking the market to its
sixth straight week of losses, on a hail of dismal outlooks from companies like
data storage giant EMC Corp. and a record $28 billion judgement against
cigarette leader Philip Morris Cos. Inc.

"People are scared to buy stocks," said Anthony
Iuliano, head equity trader for Glenmede Trust Co., as
the Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> hit its lowest
close in nearly five years.

EMC tanked 23 percent after saying it no longer sees
returning to profits for the second half of the year in a
"brutal" environment for information-technology
spending.

Boeing Co. , the world's largest commercial jet maker
and a Dow average member, fell almost 7 percent
after warning of weak earnings amid a slump in the
air travel industry.

A mixed reading on the job market in September,
continuing fears of a war on Iraq and a whopping
judgement in a tobacco lawsuit added to market
jitters."
