Worst week since January for major indexes
On reports of a criminal probe into Goldman Sachs and disappointing tech results, major US stock indexes had their worst week since January.
The DJIA dropped nearly 196 points since last Friday to finish at 11008.61, a 1.8% slip. NASDAQ faired worse losing 69 points to end today at 2461.19, a 2.8% loss. While most issues in the 20 Solar Stock Index lost, the composite actually gained a meager 2 points to 412.92 for the week.
Nevertheless, April was a good month for stocks overall and the third consecutive month of gains on most indexes.
MarketWatch reports that MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR) had a first quarter loss as overhead costs more than doubled. The result is a 22% drop to 12.97 today. Solar leaders include First Solar, GT Solar and Renesola.
