Netflix, LinkedIn highlight tech losses

Netflix fell 3.74% after Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves cut his rating to sector perform from outperform.

Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth cut his rating to neutral from overweight.  I think both of these are still way overpriced and have a long way farther to fall.

29 of 30 DJIA components down

Decline lead by Bank of America which fell  3.6% to $9.64.
