Hi Jill, It'll be bad juju to have many companies warning on Thurs & Fri, don't you think? Me thinks that any warnings after Wed will cause that issue to get taken to INTC's woodshed for its beating. Those waiting until their regularly scheduled earnings release date to announce they missed estimates could see share holder lawsuits. Still, we might test 3600. Maybe the houses want to shake out some more margin players - note NAZ down three straight sessions for about a 150 point loss - some stocks are down big time - INTC over 28% in 3 days MU over 28% in 5 days DITC over 25% in 4 days LU over 18% in 6 days TXN over 18% in 4 days TERN over 17.5% in 4 days AMD over 15% in 4 days MOT over 12% in 4 days ERICY 12% in 4 days NTAP fanned the flames today with a 11.5% drop - margin calls will be due & could be quite ugly for those who were waiting for a rebound. Hope we are wrong.... Ö¿Ö

Hewlett-Packard Drops After Hours as Rival Cuts Profit Forecast 9/25/00 3:37:00 PM Source: Bloomberg News URL: cnetinvestor.com New York, Sept. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Hewlett-Packard Co., the world's largest maker of computer printers, fell in extended trading after rival Lexmark International Inc. said profit in the second half of the year will be lower than analysts expected. Shares of Hewlett-Packard dropped 3.94, or 3.9 percent, to 97.38 in trading after the 4 p.m. close of the New York Stock Exchange. It fell 2.38 to 101.31 during normal trading hours. Lexmark, the No. 2 maker of laser printers, blamed the shortfall on low inkjet cartridge sales and unfavorable exchange rates. Lexmark is the latest of several companies, including McDonald's Corp. and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., to warn that profits will miss estimates in part because of the weakness of the euro, which has fallen 13 percent against the dollar this year. Trading in Lexmark shares was halted shortly after its announcement. The shares fell 2.63 to 52 during normal trading. Sprint PCS Group, the second-most active stock after hours, extended its gains, rising 25 cents to 31.56 as the wireless telephone unit of Sprint Corp. was raised to ''buy'' from ''neutral'' by Lehman Brothers Inc. analyst John Bensche. Cisco Systems Inc., the No. 1 maker of computer networking equipment, rose 1.06 to 58.25. Communications chipmaker Analog Devices Inc. fell 7.63 to 82 after-hours. It rose 1.13 to 89.50 earlier in the day. Among the most actively traded shares after hours were Bestfoods, which was unchanged at 72, and Intel Corp., which gained 6 cents to 45.44. Lennox International Inc., the fifth most active stock, was unchanged at 9.25. Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.10 to 1,461.10 in overnight trading, indicating that the underlying shares will be little changed when trading resumes. Ö¿Ö
