And we all thought that "Cliff Diving" was such a funny name. A pity that all that "cliff diving" is now leading to financial splatter.

Cliff Diving: Volvo Sales Plunge 99.7%It was Calculated Risk that invented the "Cliff Diving" meme in relation to plunging financial result sheets. At some point, though, a "cliff dive" ends with the diver splattering all over the ground (apologies to those whose constitutions are 8 or below). I'm pretty sure that a 99.7% drop in sales is more than a cliff dive. It's a splatter.
Talk about some serious cliff diving - from Thisismoney.co.uk: Volvo truck sales plunge 99.7% (hat tip Jonathan)
The depth of the recession was revealed today as truckmaker Volvo admitted demand across the Continent has crashed by 99.7% as it took orders for just 115 new lorries in the last three months.
That compares to orders totalling 41,970 in the third quarter of 2007.
Yikes!
