The NASDAQ and The S&P 500 Gain A Bit, As The DJIA Retreats Further From The 11K Mark
The NASDAQ and The S&P 500 Index both enjoyed a modest gain today, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up losing a few points to end the week @ 10,959.87.
Shares in Tyco lost $3.19 to close @ $27.12. The house that Dennis Kozlowski built is set to split into 3 separate companies in early 2007.
Insurance giant American International Group (AIG) may pay $1 billion to settle a fraud lawsuit related to "funny" accounting at the very highest level of management. AIG lost $0.21 to close @ $70.05 per share.
General Motors lost $0.59 to close @ $20.37 per share.
Home Depot lost $0.64 to close @ $41.91 per share today.
Google added $2.62 to close @ $466.25 per share. Hot! (I don't write "hot" here as a recommendation. By "hot" I mean that investors are very bullish on Google at the moment; could be hot air, or it could be that Google will fulfill investor expectations down the road. Google is a great company, but no one really knows for sure how the stock will perform in the future, of course, so it's best to do your research--new product/service announcements, news about the management @ Google, price to earning ratio, earnings forecasts and that kind of stuff.)

Apple Computer added $1.30 to close @ $85.59 per share.
