How one company can pull down a healthy sector
That has happened in the "supply chain" software sector, creating some good buys for investors

If you missed out when stocks went on sale Wednesday, don't despair. The markets are likely to sell off again before the July earnings season, creating more bargains.
But even if the indexes hold up, there are sure to be sector-specific panics sparked by bad news from one company in a group. Often this can present a buying opportunity, as well. In today's jittery markets, a single company with some problems can pull healthy firms in the sector down with it.
This occurred late last week in a fast-growing segment of the software industry known as "supply chain management," or software that helps manufacturers manage inventory and distribution better. Analysts say bargains still exist in the group because investors have punished perfectly sound companies after one firm in the pack released bad news.
