In the immortal words of Ricky Ricardo, wha' happened? What seemed like a pretty benign trading session turned downright ugly in the last hour or two, as bond yields pushed up to 5.13 percent - not a good thing for equities. Higher interest rates could put a damper on the buyout boom as well. The Dow finished the day off 146 points, or 1.1 percent. Among local issues, lots of 2 percent or more declines, including Activision, Countrywide, DirecTV, Edison, Guess, IHOP, KB, IndyMac, Ryland and THQ. (Bloomberg)
