Hewlett-Packard Shares Drop on Poor Outlook
10 percent fall in shares. Probably still not as bad as California's economy, though.

"I believe that all of this is fixable, but it's going to take some time," Meg Whitman, chief executive, told HP's analyst day in San Francisco on Wednesday as she detailed the company's shortcomings and fleshed out a five-year turnround plan.
