MSI: AES, Dell drive Mormon Stock Index Up
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Sharp rises at AES Corp. and Dell Computer
drove the Mormon Stock Index up nearly 8% last week for a gain that
exceeded the Dow Jones Industrials and Standard &Poors, but fell
short of the NASDAQ gain. The index was also helped by large gains
from Corvis, Cadence Design, Micrel and Myriad Genetics.
The gains came as the general market rebounded. Among stocks on the
Mormon Stock Index, 19 rose for the week, while just seven fell. The
most remarkable rises were at Corvis, Micrel and Myriad Genetics, all
of which rose more than 30% for the week. All three stocks have
fallen substantially in recent weeks due to both a lack of confidence
in high tech issues, and to their own troubles, especially in the
case of Corvis, whih has seen pre-IPO holders sell substantial stakes
recently, keeping its price low.
