Ford (F) dropped 13%. The auto maker said September sales plunged 35% and investors worry that tight credit could make it harder for drivers to obtain car loans. – I don’t think too many people are walking into their showrooms, muses Joe Terranova.
Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX) dropped 7%. Both Boston Scientific and Medtronic were are ordered to pay $629 million to Johnson and Johnson due to a heart-stent patent dispute. – Ouch, exclaims Pete Najarian.
