(Florio took a beating in a recent FORTUNE piece that accused him of atrocious management and of lying about the profitability of Conde Nast publications...
...average NASDAQ stock was down 39% from its 52-week high, and the average stock on the New York Stock Exchange was down 30%, according to Salomon Smith Barney. The average decline in stocks of very small companies (market value under $250 million) was a staggering 47%. Those are major losses, masked by the more visible Dow decline of just less than...
