HPQ has fallen and it can't get up.
If INTC missed their number, how could HPQ possibly make their number?
Stand by for a warning.
Close of 15 on Friday is likely, then depending on the severity of the warning the stock could go to 12.50, imo. Whoooopeee!!!

HP fires two, suspends others, for email abuse

LONDON, July 17 (Reuters) - Computer and printer maker Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ - News) has suspended a number of staff in Britain and Ireland and dismissed two for inappropriate use of company email, the company said on Wednesday.




It would not say in detail what they did wrong but the move comes as firms are widely cracking down on exployees' use of email to distribute pornography and tasteless jokes.

The fate of the suspended employees will be determined following a company investigation, a spokeswoman said.

"HP can confirm that this involves the viewing and sharing of unauthorised and inappropriate material," a statement from HP said.

Jim Kent, general manager for HP in the UK and Ireland, said two employees in a Scotland office have been dismissed so far. He added that HP considers it a company violation, but not a criminal matter.
