Oh well I guess some people are just slow....<vbg> ================================================ New York, Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks fell, led by Hewlett-Packard Co. after the No. 3 computer maker warned of slowing sales growth. Some investors were reluctant to buy ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision on whether to lower borrowing costs today. Hewlett-Packard Hewlett-Packard dropped 5 1/8 to 61, accounting for two- thirds of the Dow average's decline, after warning of lower first- quarter earnings and slower sales. The company's fiscal fourth- quarter earnings topped expectations, helped by robust sales of printers and personal computers. Profit before charges for the three months ended Oct. 31 was 79 cents a share, beating the average analysts' estimate of 74 cents. The company was downgraded to ''underperform'' from ''market perform'' by analyst Kevin A. McCarthy at Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp., with a 12-month target price of $65 a share. Retail investors have been pouring money into Hewlett- Packard since May, according to Bloomberg Analytics. Institutional investors took money out until mid-October, when they started buying more when the stock rallied than selling when it fell.
