Stan, I just pulled this from Streetcom - Stocks are getting slammed from all sides this morning. Drops in Asia and Europe, along with today's expiration of futures contracts and of stock and index options are laying the market low. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 260 at 7587. The S&P 500 is down 29 at 926, while the Nasdaq Composite is off 36 at 1487. Despite the big drops, it doesn't look like there's anything like panic taking hold. Traders are scratching their heads over the drop. "It's kind of weird," says one trader. "It's kind of quiet. All the volume is expiration related. No one's doing anything streetwise."
