They're not selling, they're buying! and mighty smart of them too.

Fucking brilliant. Nothing like trading otherwise empty rooms for stocks which will almost certainly appreciate.

This is great for the vacationer too. Just look for a stock that was valued very well back in July and is priced at a tenth of the price now, buy it at today's price, and it is like a 90% discount.

Best bets: AES Corp: 63.0% William's Cos: 62.8% Morgan Stanley: 60.5%

Worst:
Wells Fargo: -21.6%
Amgen: -18.5%


I do love the fact that they included negative discounts for some stocks.

@mzs: Its not that simple. The list of 'qualified' stocks is pretty limited to blue-chip's. They planned it very well to avoid MAJOR losses here. You KNOW GE and Microsoft are going to rebound nicely.

Its still brilliant.
