I'm not happy. Olin has done a relatively good job of controlling earnings and estimates in the past. I don't like to see them miss there number. Anyway, looking ahead, I suspect the sell-off was overdone - perhaps there was speculation that they would miss by a wider margin. I'm expecting a pop up at the open - hopefully I won't be disappointed again. Between SCI and 3Com this week, there is very little left that can disappoint me now.

Did I reserve the right to revise and extend my prior comment? I would, except that I believe there is at least one lady present.
