Economy improving slowly
A trickle of confidence in the markets returned in July. U.S. and European stocks recovered much of the losses of earlier months showing definite but slow growth while dumping gold and U.S. dollar as a result.
The Dow finished at 10465.94, a gain of 41 points or .4% since last Friday. The NASDAQ slipped 15 points to 2254.70, a .65% loss. Stocks in the 20 Solar Stocks Index (20SSI) fell 29 points to 348.76, over an 8% drop for the week.
Satcon, a solar inverter maker, gained 24% to be the week's biggest gainer. MEMC, a chip maker, slid over 22% to be the biggest loser of the 20SSI for the week. On July 2, the 20SSI finished at 333 then hit a high of 363 on July 9, then continued to slip the next three week to finish at today's 349.
