Also on the downside was priceline.com (PCLN:Nasdaq), off 5 3/8, or 7%, at 72 1/8 on news that Delta Air Lines (DAL:NYSE) met terms allowing it to exercise a warrant to buy 18.6 million priceline shares at 93 cents a piece, a wee bit below the shares' current market value. Dow Jones reported that Delta obtained the warrant by agreeing to be the first major carrier to sell tickets through the name-your-own-price online service. From thestreet.com
