Mormon Stock Index Up on Surges by Corvis, Novell

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Sharp rises by both optical network equipment manufacturer Corvis and network software firm Novell pushed the Mormon Stock Index up 2.4%. Both Corvis and Novell jumped more than 40% for the week, while other stocks held steady, with as many stocks rising (7) as falling.

Corvis was up after analysts gave the firm a buy rating, expecting the stock price to rise to $30. However, a reporter for The Street.com notes that 91% of Corvis' stock is still in private hands, and the 'lockup' period, during which it can't be sold, will expire soon. If the insiders that hold the stock sell when the 'lockup' period expires, the stock price could drop significantly.

Novell's stock rose after it reported that it had won a software piracy case against a man who sold unlicensed copies of Novell's Netware program on Ebay. Novell was awarded $600,000 in the case, which bolstered its anti-piracy efforts.

In addition to Corvis and Novell, sunglass manufacturer Oakley, Inc. and semiconductor manufacturer Micrel Semiconductor were both up more than 15%. On the down side, Iomega and Knight Transportation fell by a little less than 10% each.
