A win for Wynn. Wynn Resorts (WYNN) is the diamond today up 22% following a report that the Chinese government plans steps to revive the flagging gambling industry in Macau, where betting has been in freefall.

Progress Software Corp (PRGS) is the dog of the day after reporting a fiscal third-quarter loss of $4.1 million, after reporting a profit in the same period a year earlier.

The question is with the recent correction, how much of the bad news has been priced in?
