The Nasdaq composite index soared more than 150 points, posting its fifth-biggest point gain ever, as investors bought technology firms whose profits are forecast to surge in the first quarter. The S&P closed above 1500 for the first time, while the Dow gave back some of its recent gains. (source: CNNfn) http://www.cnnfn.com/2000/03/22/markets/markets_newyork/ |

March 21 U.S. stocks rose strongly as investors bet that the Fed has inflation under control. The Nasdaq, whose technology companies are seen as less dependent on banks for raising money, shook off a severe drop and surged well into positive territory after the Fed raised rates for the fifth time since June. The Dow continued its impressive run, ending up over 2%. (source: CNNfn) http://cnnfn.com/2000/03/21/markets/markets_newyork/ |

The Nasdaq plunged 188 points, its third-biggest point drop on record, extending last week's big losses. Investors dumped technology stocks with high P/E ratios and moved into blue-chips a day ahead of a closely watched Federal Reserve meeting on interest rates.

charlie1, Here's what investorwords.com says about the triple witching hour The final hour of the stock market trading session on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December, when option contracts and futures contracts expire on market indexes used by program traders. The simultaneous expirations often set off heavy trading of options, futures and the underlying stocks. |

The Nasdaq composite index returned to its winning ways as investors renewed their love affair with technology stocks. The Dow edged lower as money fled recently hot "old economy" stocks that had powered the index to a record point gain yesterday.

I was expecting some profit taking in the dow today, but that's not as big a thing for buy-and-hold dow investors I guess. Maybe this is a signal that the dow will get back its losses of the past few months and we can go back to the bull market as usual. http://www.seattletimes.com/news/business/html98/greg_20000317.html |

Investors reacted euphorically to news that wholesale prices rose by 1% in February, the largest leap in almost 10 years. The Dow closed up 499.19 points, its biggest point gain ever. The Nasdaq, which bounced around all day, finished the session up 135 points or 2.95% and the S&P 500 also soared, gaining 66 points or 4.76%. (source: Washington Post) http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22615-2000Mar16.html Investors continued to flock to downtrodden blue-chip stocks, while the technology sector bounced back from an early tumble as influential analyst Henry Blodget warned of an impending internet shakeout. (source: MSNBC) The Dow and Nasdaq keep jostling, a pair of opposites -- "old economy" versus "new economy" -- consumer goods versus tech. What will happen next? (source: CNNfn) |

Now we've got bandwagon jumpers in the other direction, but there also are a couple of reasons for the jump. The PPI data was favorable (i.e. inflation is not as big of a concern) Also I read this on the Wired site "Traders said some of the volatility was due to Friday's simultaneous expiration of options and futures in stocks and stocks indexes, an occurrence known on Wall Street as a triple witching." Look for an even more volatility in both indices tomorrow. |

Sooooo, The Biotechs triggered the selloff and momentum carried the rest of the NASDAQ down. The Dow stocks attracted some money because they are cheap and momentum carried the Dow up? Didn't we have a similar scenario in late January or early Feb that lasted about a week? I suppose history will tell us if this is a turn in the market. Somehow I don't think the Dow is going very far up until the fed is finished raising interest rates. What do the rest of you think?? |

Here's the most interesting line in the article: "But except for noting how cheap these stocks had gotten, analysts cited no fresh news behind the buying." That's just it. The Nasdaq stocks had gone up so high and the Dow stocks were so low... there had to be a correction some time. People just realized it, with no news or anything special to remind them. |

The Dow Jones industrial average catapulted 320 points, the biggest point gain since October 1998. The asset shift from tech to blue-chips pushed the Nasdaq to its third-straight triple-digit loss. (source: CNNfn) http://cnnfn.com/2000/03/15/markets/markets_newyork/ |

Is this a shift I see in the market? Dow up over 3%, nasdaq down almost 3%? Are investors finally realizing how much they've been bandwagon jumpers? |
