A Challenging DayThough I seldom write, I do visit on occasion. Thank you to those who are posting well informed thoughts. I am trying to put some of this in context and would appreciate any insights some might have about why we are suffering a 17 percent drop. When I read about the write downs and the ATM this morning I was expecting it would not be a great day. I was anticipating a 5 to 10 percent hit. The conference call was lacklustre. It felt as though both Irwin Simon and Carl Merton were reading from a script about how "excited" they were. I was disappointed by much of what was said...but not to the tune of 17%. It was a rather significant run up to earnings, but we did meet analyst expectations. Any insights as to why we are being hammered so hard today?
