March 8-12: Dow, NASDAQ, Solar Gain Yet Again


Solar stocks beat major indexes

After a lackluster February, U.S. stocks posted a second straight week of gains. The Dow gained 58 points to finish at 10624.69, a .6% upswing from last Friday. The NASDAQ did better by jumping 41 points and closing at 2367.66, a 1.8% surge from last week. Solar stocks in the 20SSI surpassed both major indexes by gaining over 15 points for the week to finish at 385.01, 4.1% up from March 5.

According to MarketWatch stocks made modest gains due in part to the .3% rise in U.S. retail sales in February even factoring in the negative impact of last month's severe snowstorms on the East Coast.
