rimm shares have lost two-thirds of their value since february. the speculation today centered around the possibility carl icahn has been buying shares. icahn was successful in getting motorola to break up into two companies. the official start of earnings season is still a few weeks away, but drug store giant walgreen turned in better than expected results. profits were helped by the sale of its pharmacy benefits management unit. still, walgreen stock fell hard, down more than 6% as volume tripled. the worry is over walgreen's future business. at the end of the year, walgreen is due to lose a huge pharmacy customer, express scripts, and the negotiations don't appear to be any closer to a resolution. today's best stock sectors were those closely tied to the economy. the materials sector added 2%; industrials and energy gained about 1.5% each. we saw a continued rebound in some commodity prices-- oil popped more than 5%. silver bounced up 5% after its rout since the middle of last week. and copper was up 5% from multi- month lows. energy services f

rimm stock dropped 19%. volume exploded, more than quadrupling. the company came up short of estimates for both earnings and revenues-- shipping fewer blackberry and tablet computers- - the playbook-- last quarter. but even with today's steep loss, the stock remains above its 52-week low hit last month. at&t continues recovering from its drop earlier this month when the federal government sued to block the company's $39 billion buyout of t-mobile u.s.a. the stock was up another 1.4% today, even though seven states joined the justice department's lawsuit. speaking of deals, conglomerate, united technologies is looking to get bigger. reuters reports the company is securing financing for what may be its biggest buyout in decades-- perhaps topping $20 billion. shares were a little weaker today on the rumors. but shares of possible buyout targets were rallying. rockwell collins and goodrich each popped more than 7%. textron added almost 7%. those companies refused to comment. finally, sugar prices saw a sharp drop today. this is the past 180 sessions.

first, rimm called an analyst claim that it has stopped making the playbook "pure fiction". and best buy cut its price for the playbook from $499 to $299 to better compete with amazon's new device. all the talk pushed research in motion shares down more than 3%. the stock took a dive in mid- september after reporting disappointing sales of its blackberry devices, as well as the playbook tablet. the stock sits near its recent 52 week low tonight. financial stocks led the gainers for the broad market. the top three dow stocks are in the finance sector-- travelers insurance, bank of america, and j.p. morgan each gained 3%. the financial buying extended to european banks. this exchange traded fund contains dozens of top european banks. spanish, german and french banking stocks were particularly strong. watch the cme group and mcgraw hill tomorrow. after the close, "the wall street journal" reported the two are in advance talks regarding the s&p index business owned by mcgraw hill. cme already owns the dow jones indexes business. cme was up 1% during the regular session while mcg

and rimm collapsing.t is about the blackberry being so unreliable now. >> or expectations of where those companies are going. i think research in motion's market cap is 2 to 3% of apple. and this points to american exceptionalism. the ability to contract the value of your company on the degree of innovation and expected innovation you can have. so apple rockets away, rimm is crushed on expectations of where they're taking it. >> all right, simon. >> on expectations and on the fact that the blue blackberry a decade ago was far more reliable than the ones that they put out now. i mean -- >> it was amazing. i backed up over one. it still worked. >> should have gotten into the app business. they should have just stayed in the e-mail business. >>el can can. >> simon, can you. >> the blue one's too, you could throw them against a brick wall and they would bounce back. >> i backed a car up on one. next, michele bachmann gets her hands dirty. what. >>? >> we'll be right back. ♪ it's just my craziness coming throu

i have to say to you guys, it's going to be a really bad day for rimm today, research in motion.t not selling as many of the old blackberries as they expected, the margins are poorer, and they're selling half the numbers of the playbook tablet. so they have to discount the tablet into the holiday season. and there is a big question whether blackberry are stop making a tablet, same as sharp and hp has stopped making a tablet. so you have the huge advantage. the real challenge going into the holiday season is whom z amazon which is going to launch its own tablet. and can they dent what steve jobs has created. >> blackberry has blues because they tried to chase apple, butt putt all of these apps on a basic piece of equipment. mika, your blackberry glitches up -- >> i don't know what this tablet is -- why don't they stop making the blackberry, okay? seriously. >> why don't they -- you know what, you know how they could increase sales? >> what? >> make it blue again and just have a phone. >> i want the blackberry from two years ago. >> i want the blackberry from ten years ago. i would
