U.S. stocks open sharply lower in wide selloff <<NEW YORK, April 14 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks dropped at Friday's opening in a broad-based selloff, jolted by higher-than-expected inflation that could lead to higher interest rates. Just minutes after the opening, the Dow Jones industrial average (^DJI - news) was down 163 points, or 1.5 percent, at 10,759 points. Already deep in bear market territory, the technology-laden Nasdaq composite index (^IXIC - news) fell 88.86 points, or 2.42 percent, to 3,587 points. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index (^SPX - news) was down 19.63 percent, or 1.38 percent, at 1,420 points. The Labour Department reported that the Consumer Price Index rose 0.7 percent in March. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast a 0.5 percent gain. The core rate, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.4 percent, above a forecast rise of 0.2 percent. The increase was the biggest since January 1995.>> V: Who's selling at these prices? It's not funny this morning...IMO, 'The Houses' need to get their ambassadors (like AJ Cohen) out for press conferences to reassure the investment community...:-) I'm holding....it's too late to sell...We WILL weather this storm. Best Regards, Scott BTW, look how far CMGI is off its highs....incredible...it will come back....may take some time though.

V, Do you really think the "houses" will step in and rescue the overextended margin players? To what benefit? C
