If you are long in individual stocks these days, you are likely part of a large and miserable fraternity.
But how bad are your stocks doing in relation to other stocks that you may not own or even follow? Since misery loves company, Eric Savitz of
Barron's has
complied a list of prominent stocks in six different tech sectors to get a feel for how big of a loser each stock was at Wednesday's close of trading. As Savitz points out while "assessing the carnage," the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 4 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 5 percent, so if your stocks lost less than 5 percent, you're ahead of the game.
