<<RE... I have observed time and time again how my Vanguard funds (in which I have quit a bit of 401 money) downsize...>>

Just to mention...There are allot of laws governing these fund managers...They cannot allow their funds to be more than a certain percentage of one stock...Many laws that make managing a fund a real hassle. If anyone wants a nice perspective on this, you should read one of Peter Lynch's books.
Please don't get me wrong...I'm not trying to drive home this idea as being everything that is responsible for the stock being down...Just that it could be part, and is good food for thought in this short term. I'm still not worried about the long term here...I believe in the GG theory.
