...Surprising analysts with one of the biggest trading volumes of the year, Thursday saw healthy rallies on all three indexes: 122 points for the Dow, 102 for NASDAQ, 15 for the S&P. Friday followed with more good stuff: the Dow ended up 24 and the NASDAQ was ahead by 28. Good days to help cap off a very good month (except for Ford), with the Dow picking up 7 percent in August and NASDAQ gaining 11 percent and finally breaking into positive territory for the year...
...done for the year, or at least until after the election, and where the market goes from here is no longer up to Greenspan. Investors could get back to focusing on earnings reports and profit forecasts, although mental knots over news like that produced a very dispirited July for NASDAQ. Or the next object of suspense could be the Time Warner-AOL merger decision, due in the fall from the FCC, which could set the regulatory climate for at least the next year (Time Warner, of course, is parent of this site). Or even the election, as Monday's damage...
...Network Solutions. An accountant by training, Korzeniewski worked for a decade for SAIC, a research and engineering firm. In 1995 SAIC bought Network Solutions, then the sole registrar of names on the Internet. Since that time Korzeniewski has inspired Network Solutions to morph from government grantee to NASDAQ darling, orchestrating the company's successful 1997 initial public offering. Last year many analysts predicted Network Solutions would be crushed when it had to give up its monopoly and let other Net registrars into the business. Instead, the company responded with an aggressive marketing strategy. It's now busting at its seams...
...million Americans, a 32% increase over last year, watched one of the least dramatic final rounds in the history of the British Open. They stayed for a glimpse of golfing puissance--and to see a reflection of themselves. In an era defined by placid prosperity and cross-cultural, NASDAQ-obsessed Generation Y geeks who went to Stanford, it is only a minor coincidence that the national icon is a 24-year-old multiracial golfer who "plays around in the market" and could be worth $1 billion by the time he's 30 and was geeky enough to be nicknamed Urkel...
Curiously, some technicians put more weight on the Dow's inability to rally past old levels than they do on its ability to hold firm on declines. Hence they tend to be bearish. The NASDAQ slide since mid-July bolsters that view. And McCabe notes that speculative fever remains high, evident in a vibrant IPO market. John McGinley, editor of Technical Trends, worries about the recent slide in margin debt--money borrowed to buy stocks. You'd think a decline in that figure would be healthy, signaling that investors are more cautious. But McGinley reads the decline from the March...
