IP down 10% 3/2/09-Ed Warner

See above for full story of press releases from IP.

In addition to cutting their dividend, IP also said it would sell a large chunk of land assets in order help pay down debt and maintain their credit rating.

This news, coupled with an almost 5% drop in the S&P 500 today, contributed to this 10% drop.
