Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE) saw a sharp drop in shares after reporting earnings, and it pulled down other ag-stocks. The company said it was being impacted by tight part supplies and rising materials costs, and that sent shares tumbling 10% to $81.10 in the final minutes today.
Fushi Copperweld, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSIN) rose a sharp 14% to $21.90 late in the day after it blew past revenue targets with a 155% gain in revenues.
Jack in the Box Inc. (NYSE: JBX) must be more economically sensitive than other fast-food restaurants out there. Its shares were down over 10% at $$25.00 late in the day after its earnings report.
Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) saw a 4% rise late in the day to $25.07 after the company's earnings came in better than the reduced estimates; the company also reaffirmed its prior sales forecasts for 2008.
Whole Foods Markets (NASDAQ: WFMI) saw shares pounced after the company's earnings and guidance failed to impress investors. In fact, the results were very unimpressive. Shares were down over 12% at $29.40 late in the day.

Jon;
We have the Corporate Whistle Blower Center & inflation is down? What a bunch of bull S%$T. Once again we have the government involved in cooking the books & once again the please buy stock(s) market buys it hook line & sinker.
Please ask any consumer if inflation was done in April. Just find one. We would suggest any investor in the US stock market get out & sit on the side lines. This is going to end really ugly. The March 2008 Bull Sh*! Run. & no inflation in April of 2008? "The credit crisis is almost over=more BS!
We were impressed that CNBC bought into it as well. Perhaps some day they will mention the auction rate securities $320 billion dollar fraud. But the again what would their stock brokerage clients say?
