Down because of First USA Paymentech (PTI) problems. PTI has been getting crushed the last week or so. PTI is a very small competitor to FDC. It was a spinoff of First USA's merchant processing operations after BancOne bought First USA. They are having a lot of problems including pricing pressure on merchant services. Analytical comment today is that it is company specific and not indicative of problems for FDC. So, this may be a buying opportunity. I may buy some more tomorrow, even though it's already my largest holding.
