Cummins (CMI) Update

I'm already short CME Group, Google, Mosaic, Cimarex Energy, F5 Networks, Transocean, Research In Motion, and Akamai Technologies, and by the end of the day I'll be adding Cummins to that list. 

Riverbed Technology, Baidu, Aruba Networks, and Caterpillar might not be far behind.
