HP drags U.S. stocks lower at the open
Excerpt:Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500) shares plunged 14%, after the company reported quarterly results that included a multi-billion dollar writedown. That pushed the major indexes into the red. The Dow Jones industrial average slid 0.4%. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 were both down about 0.2%. But stripping out the PC maker's dismal performance, stocks were little changed as investors backed off a recent rally and turned their attention back to Europe's sovereign debt worries. Eurozone finance ministers were meeting Tuesday to discuss the latest release of bailout funds for Greece, which the country needs to stave off default. They meet as Moody's downgraded France's credit rating, stripping the country of its coveted AAA rating due to worries about economic weakness. Escalating violence in the Middle East between Israelis and Palestinians continues to be a global concern.
