...hostile $44.5 billion bid for AT&T Broadband, Wall Street has very little reason not to continue cashing in its chips this week. Friday's hefty selloff occurred in a complete optimism vacuum - why buy when unemployment is up, when the dollar won't quit, and when there's naught but dire second-quarter profit warnings in the air?

"We found that regardless of how frequently the phones were used per month or how many years the phones were used, there wasn't any relationship with the development of brain cancer," Joshua Muscat, chief author of the study, said Wednesday. The first report, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association...
