10:02 ET Economic Data : Existing Home Sales fell 0.8% to 5.19 mln in December, almost exactly in line with the consensus of 5.18 mln; though down a bit in December, the pace of sales continues to hold up exceptionally well. This is a positive economic data point, but is unlikely to have any market impact.

09:43 ET Sector Watch : Declines are relatively broad based but the losses for the market averages are modest thus far. Pacing the way to the downside are: storage, Internet security, networking, software, computer-hardware, wireless, airline, drug and biotech. On the upside are gold, and energy. Upgrade by Banc of America (see 07:52 comment) and firmer crude oil prices underpinning the latter.

HAL UPDATE - Broke above $14 --- options now over 400% gain.

The HALBB's could have been bought at $1.00 just before earnings.

Pretty amazing run and I am surprised myself. I had said a few days ago that the options were risky but could return 100-400%. I guess I was conservative.
