Market Wears Signs of a Janus Panic By James J. Cramer Could Janus be panicking? Viacom (Boston:VIA - news), AOL Time Warner (NYSE:AOL - news), Nokia (NYSE:NOK - news), General Electric (NYSE:GE - news), Pfizer (NYSE:PFE - news) and Comcast (NasdaqNM:CMCSK - news) are all down heavily today on major volume.

This article continues for RealCommentary subscribers.
