Corvis Gyrations Continue, Push Mormon Stock Index Down in Up Market

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The inexplicable stock price of recent IPO Corvis is still driving the Mormon Stock Index, pushing the overall index down 1% while the overall US markets rose slightly. Corvis dropped nearly 20% for the week, giving back nearly all last week's rise. Experts still can't explain the company's overall market valuation, except for the overall interest in Fiber Optic stocks.

Language software firm Fonix again rose strongly this past week, up nearly 11% as the firm reported positive results for its second quarter. Also up was Netrix, up 18%, gaining back most of its loss the previous week. Online service firm I-Link was down 14%, also reversing its move the previous week. Also off was Linux firm Caldera Systems, down 11% as investors re-evaluated the company's competitive situation.
