trading off Wall street journal front page

It seems like there is alot of money to be made just trading off the front page headlines.

Front page today talked about weakness at investment banks, LEH layoffs expected, ect. ect. Also big story on improper ipo grants. Selling the brokers off the open was probably the easiest and most profitable trade of the day.

I'm sure this strategy frequently fails, but i wonder if you can make more than you lose just going with the flow off the front page of the journal.

P.S. Unfortunately i left my Journal on the counter this morning. Had to wait until i got home from trading to read it. LOL.
 
Also, first story off today's WSJ was regarding the Airlines. Check how much you would have made shorting first print on AMR, DAL, and BA.
