Have you checked out how many jobs have been eliminated in 2010 already. When tax revenue in States are cut in half.What Caused the Drop? Its amazing people pay you to ask them question you should know the answers to!

Ruckus, I'm not sure where you are coming from in your comment, but our question was posed to help us and other investors gauge overall sentiment in the market right now.

You seem surprised by the 5% drop.

What Caused the Drop? Unemployment.

The market is the people. When you eliminate the people you decimate the market. So how is the market going to survive. Why don't you go to a unemployment center, talk to some folks. Maybe you can get a good gauge of the market.
