Well, what do you expect when the Dow falls 226 points? Countrywide took the biggest hit, down 10.4 percent, but other local issues got socked by 4, 5 and 6 percentage points (the Dow was off 1.6 percent). Most everything I monitor, with the exception of Activision, was down (it made news by being No. 1 in video game sales for the first half of 2007). Here's a sampler:

--Avery Dennison -5.4%
--CB Richard Ellis -4.8%
--Countrywide -10.4%
--DuCommun -6.3%
--Disney -0.8%
--Edison -5%
--KB Home -4%
--99 Cents Stores -4.9%
--Occidental -3.6%
--Activision +0.2%
