DROPS (stocks that slid lower)
Posco dropped 8%. Higher raw costs led Goldman Sachs to cut this Korean steelmaker to “sell.” Jon Najarian: Iron ore and coal prices are too high for profitable steelmaking.
Emerson dropped 4%. Demand for power systems from refineries led to a 27% jump in earnings but the stock still fell. Finerman: should have been a pop, not a great day to release good numbers
Toyota dropped 4%. Slowing U.S. demand and a weaker dollar may hurt earnings this quarter, according to the company. Macke: If it has wheels, sell it.
SiRF Technologies dropped 55%. Pricping pressure hurt profits at this maker of GPS chips. Jon Najarian: GPS devices are not in demand and probably won’t be until next Christmas.
