This market is getting nasty too Paul, I'm getting chills looking at the charts tonight, we might over-shoot on the downside:
New York, Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Walt Disney Co.'s stock fell after Goldman, Sachs & Co. sold 135 million
shares of the entertainment company for $15 a share. Texas investor Sid Richardson Bass sold the
shares to meet a margin call, CNBC reported.

The sale, at a 19 percent discount to yesterday's closing price, pushed Disney shares to their lowest
level in about six years. Disney said in a news release it would buy 50 million of the shares from
Goldman.

Goldman called money-management firms offering the remaining 85 million shares, traders said.

Disney's stock dropped $1.65, or 8.9 percent, to $16.85 in midday trading. The stock has fallen 29
percent this week.
