Winners 15 Losers 5
For the fifth straight week the DJIA, NASDAQ and the select 20 Solar Stocks Index went up. The Dow observed Good Friday but closed yesterday at 8083.38, up 65.79 points for the week or +.8205%. The NASDAQ was up 30.67 to 1652.54 or 1.891%. The 20SSI gained surpassed last week's gains going up 2.455% net average. Solar winners outnumbered losers 15 to 5. Trina Solar was the biggest gainer at nearly 15% up.
The week started shakily with major drops on Monday but recovered on Thursday on reports that Wells Fargo bank expects profits of $3 billion for the first quarter thanks to the acquisition in January of Wachovia bank and an increase in mortgage applications.
Also, March sales show retailers may have weathered the worst of the recession. Other recent positive indicators, including a rise in U.S. factory orders for the first time in seven months, also may have proven to lift sentiment despite still record-high job losses and continuing unemployment claims remaining at a record high.
