JetBlue, Verigy, Principal Financial Group, Hartford Financial Services Group

After hours is pretty dull today.  Everyone seems to be waiting on the bank bailout and stimulus plans.

I’m mildly interested the following stocks, but most likely staying on the sidelines after hours today and prepping for tomorrow.  Tomorrow should be pretty volatile with bank stocks.

JBLU up 3.33% AH
JetBlue - don’t see any news

VRGY down 15.27% AH
Verigy - issues downside guidance

PFG down 20.43% AH
Principal Financial Group - mixed earnings release

HIG down 4.52% AH
Hartford Financial Services Group - no new news, probably in anticipation for tomorrow.
