<What caused the slide today with so small volume? Is there any news?> An abrupt price decrease on small volume can sometimes be a market maker's way of obtaining shares, it happened to one of the stocks I own, UNSN, about a week before the company sold out to IBM. That was an abrupt decrease and by the end of the day had recovered to around 75% of what it was at the end of the previous day. Someone had "managed" to get the shares cheaply that day, for just a couple of hours. I'm not saying that today's trading means anything in the short-term, just what my own experience says can happen, on rare occasions. Regards, Dave
