Vimpel-Comm (VIP) popped 13%. The Russian mobile operator popped as its associate, Telenor, reported stronger than expected earnings for the fourth quarter.

United States Oil Fund ETF (USO) dropped 9%. General skepticism about the economy left investors wondering if demand for oil would ever return. - I still have no desire to buy the USO, it's tethered to the front price in oil, says Joe Terranova.
Research In Motion (RIMM) dropped 18%. The maker of the Blackberry fell as Credit Suisse downgraded the stock to a sell, saying it will be hard to hold on to market share and maintain its profit margins. - I'd avoid this stock, counsels Jeff Macke.
