It was a mixed day on Wall Street as investors took a deep breath before earnings season started in earnest after the close. The Dow spent most of the day in the black and closed near session highs, up 127 points. The Dow was buoyed by fairly strong earnings reports from the banking sector. The Nasdaq, while spending most of the day in the black, gave tech investors some encouraging signs. The index rallied into the close and nearly erased its losses, finishing the day off 8.

Stocks fell Friday as investors sought to take money off the table ahead of the holiday weekend, against the backdrop of further economic uncertainty. While money rotated away from "old economy" issues, the tech-heavy Nasdaq didn't fare much better – swinging between a 2 percent gain and a 2 percent loss. The sell-off sent the major indexes tumbling, although losses were tempered by the end of the day's trading session. The Nasdaq ended the day down 14.07 points at 2,626.50 while the Dow dropped 84.17 to 10,525.38. (source: CNNfn) http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2001/01/12/markets/markets_newyork/ |

Despite a dim forecast for 2001 from Yahoo Thursday morning, the Nasdaq closed up 116 points (4.6%), riding a broad tech rally to its third consecutive gain. Investors poured money into the tech sector, wagering that the negative outlook for profit growth has already been factored into stock prices. After spending the bulk of the day in the red, the Dow finished up 5 points on the strength of tech and financial components.

A late-session rally helped the Nasdaq post significant gains today, as buying in software and net issues left the tech-heavy index 83 points (3.4%) higher at the close. After spending all but the last half-hour of trading in negative territory, the Dow was helped to a 32-point gain by its own rally. Negative analyst comments on Cisco weighed on the market for much of the day, but bargain-hunting in other big-cap techs overcame the negative sentiment in the late-afternoon.

The Nasdaq surged for the first time in four sessions Tuesday as buyers flocked to technology stocks, betting that much of the negative news about corporate results has been factored into these beaten-down issues. Further confidence also was prompted by the belief that the Federal Reserve will continue to lower interest rates if economic indicators warrant it. By the end of the day the Nasdaq gained 45.38 points to 2,441.30. Meanwhile, the Dow fell for its fourth straight session, losing 48.80 to 10,572.55.

After spending the majority of the session mired deep in negative territory, the major indices managed a rally in the last hour of trading and posted only minor losses on the day. Worries over disappointing corporate earnings continued to be the culprit behind investors' pessimism, which resulted in rotation into defensive issues, such as tobacco and utility. Big-cap techs hurt both the Dow and the Nasdaq: the blue-chip index shed 41 points on the day, and the Nasdaq fell 11.7.

Stocks tumbled for the fourth time in five sessions Friday as the first trading week of the new year could not rid Wall Street of an old problem: profit worries. Euphoria from a historic rally two days ago gave way to more concerns about earnings weakness when another round of companies warned about missing quarterly financial targets. On Friday alone, at least 12 companies issued revenue and/or bottom line warnings, just days before thousands of companies start posting actual results for the last three months of 2000. By the close of the day's trading session, the Nasdaq was down 159.18 points to 2,407.65 while the Dow shed 250.40 to end the day at 10,662.01.

For most of the session, it looked as though the market would hold steady after yesterday's rally (a good sign, considering the magnitude of yesterday's gains). The major indices hovered around breakeven until about 2 o'clock, but then profit-taking pushed both the Nasdaq and the Dow lower: the Nasdaq finished the day down 50 points and the Dow fell 33. In the Dow, defensive stocks (such as drug and tobacco) lost ground, as investors rotated into tech and financial issues. In the tech sector, yesterday's biggest winners were, not surprisingly, today's biggest losers. (source: MSNBC) http://www.msnbc.com/news/158521.asp Dow Jones Industrials: 10912.41 -33.34 -0.30% |

Ever since the December Fed meeting, investors have been waiting for a rate cut. Today, they got their wish a little earlier than expected. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points this afternoon in an unusual inter-meeting move. This sparked a rally for the major indices, with the beaten-down tech sector leading the way. The Nasdaq finished the day up 325 points, a record-breaking 14.2%. The percentage gain easily topped the previous record of 10.48%. The rally was broad-based, though big cap issues led the way. The Dow posted big gains as well, ending the day up 300 points, about 2.8%. Both the NYSE and the NASDAQ posted their busiest days ever as volume surged on the news of the rate cut. For more on the Fed's move, see below. (source: CNNfn) http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2001/01/03/markets/markets_newyork/ Dow Jones Industrials: 10945.75 +299.60 +2.81% |

The Nasdaq plunged to a 22-month low Tuesday as a new year on Wall Street brought an old problem: profit worries. Fears about slowing corporate earnings growth again unnerved the market, in a broad sell-off that sent investors running for the relative safety of Treasury securities. December tax-related stock selling had already depressed share prices, but the sell-off which often makes January a good month for stocks failed to lure bargain hunters Tuesday. The Nasdaq ended the day down 178.66 points at 2,291.86 while the Dow dropped 140.70 to 10,646.16. (source: CNNfn) http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2001/01/02/markets/markets_newyork/ They call it the 'January effect'-- the theory that a new year moves stocks higher. It may look that way while we're waiting for the Fed to act on interest rates, but after that, buyers could get battered.

The markets finished one of their worst years in recent memory in appropriate fashion -- with a sharp selloff that resulted in the worst annual performance for the Nasdaq since its 1971 inception and a yearly loss for the Dow. At Friday's close, the Nasdaq fell 87.27 points, or 3.4 percent, to 2,470.49 -- 39 percent below the 1999 close. The Dow shedded 80.77 to 10,787.99, leaving the blue chip indicator 6 percent lower for the year. (source: CNNfn) http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/12/29/markets/markets_newyork/ |

The market closed on a positive note today, as the Dow notched its fifth winning session in a row, and the Nasdaq managed to overcome choppy trading to also post a gain, its fourth in the last five sessions. At the close, the Dow had gained 65.6 points, largely due to rotation into financial and drug issues from big-cap techs. The Nasdaq's gains were limited to 18 points by losses in PC stocks, following negative analyst comments on that sector. (source: CNNfn) http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/12/28/markets/markets_newyork/

Money started coming off the sidelines Wednesday as bargain-seeking investors sent stocks surging, betting that some beaten-down issues were worth owning. A warning from computer security products maker Network Associates that it will post a fourth-quarter loss pressured the major indexes early in the morning but investors quickly shrugged off the news. The tech-heavy Nasdaq, led by the chip sector, rose for the third time in four sessions, ending the day up 45.76 points at 2,539.28. But buyers also emerged in non-tech sectors like drugs, helping to send the Dow higher 110.72 to 10,803.16, its fourth straight advance.

Is it time to start predicting the "end of equities" again? A forthcoming article says it might be, and although this columnist finds the reasoning compelling, he says they aren't dead, they just won't be as lively for a while.
