ISDEX finds some stability after a bout of profit taking. And no wonder after a year to date sprint of more than 100% gains. Investor focus the past few trading sessions has been on the Dow, which rockets to new highs.
Dow continues its upward trend:: The Dow Jones industrial average has hit a new record high in 12 of the past 17 Britians top 10 toys in spotlight as shoppers face an ever-longer http://www.financialpost.com/story.html?id=16a36653-c117-4191-9772-8100930393a3HOME |
Lycos (NASDAQ:LCOS) expects to meet its fiscal third--quarter analyst estimates which First Call slates at a loss of $0.03 per share. Shareholders vote in July whether or not to approve Lycos' merger with USA Networks run by Barry Diller. Pro forma LCOS shareholders would own 30% of USA/Lycos.
Dow Nears Record as Confidence Climbs:: A key gauge of consumers mood came in higher than expected.

Correction: this morning's report should be Network Associates and not Network Solutions.
