Things seem to edge up more than they edge down, but this might just be due to the performance of the stock market at the time. Treebank tags "up X%" inconsistently; sometimes it's (correctly) two constituents, sometimes it's one ADVP. You'll need to split apart the ADVP to get to the argm-dir and arg2-ext. Bummer.
