Symantec falls, high-techs ease NEW YORK, June 21 (Reuters) - Internet security company Symantec Corp. <SYMC.O> fell in after-hours trading on Thursday after the company cut its first-quarter forecast in the face of weak technology spending. Symantec sank to $47 on the Instinet trading system. The stock had closed up $3.24 at $61.31 on the Nasdaq during the regular trading session.
