Gottfried, Yes, it is the constant downgrading on an almost daily basis that is leaving little or no shock value. Also I think there is a large segment of the "market" that believes 2H09 is going to be better. As far as NVLS goes, it is apparently up today based on takeover rumors. <<Novellus (NVLS Quote - Cramer on NVLS - Stock Picks) is seeing strong call activity even though its shares are trading lower as takeover rumors are circulating on the trading floors. More than 7,000 calls traded against 575 puts this morning, dwarfing the average December call volume of 810 contracts per day, according to OptionMonster's tracking systems. Volume was also heavy in the NVLS shares themselves, exceeding a third of their average volume in the first hour of trading alone.>> thestreet.com
