I wouldn't say your pulling at straws / trying to sugar coat anything ... Facts are facts ....sectors get hammered as a whole all the time... I guess it's part of it....I noticed a little slappage for a sec. Got all excited and managed to buy 10,000 whole shares w/ the pennies I rolled up and the money I shafted from my boy this morning when I told him the reason there was no $ under his pillow is that the tooth fairy died ....
