MSI: Mormon Stock Index Up while Dow, NASDAQ Fall

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The Mormon Stock Index managed a 1% gain while other indices fell slightly last week. Stocks like Cadence Design, AES Corporation and Micrel Semiconductor supported the index from declines in major components Dell and Swift Transportation.

The increases in Cadence, AES and Micrel were important, as 18 of the indices' 33 stocks fell, compared to 15 that rose. But the rising stocks simply rose more than the falling stocks fell. Chief among those up was medical devices manufacturer Cygnus Inc., which rose 18% last week.
