MSI: MSI Up 2% for Week, Adds LaQuinta Properties
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The Mormon Stock Index rose 2% last week following
a broad-based run-up in U.S. stocks. Overall 29 of the stocks included
in the index rose and 14 fell. The index also added hotel property
company La Quinta Properties, Inc., for the coming week, while dropping
Computerized Thermal Imaging after a Mormon executive left the company.
American Express drove much of the increase for the week, rising nearly
5% and more than offsetting a nearly 2% drop from the larger Dell
Computer. Also contributing to the increase were Iomega (up 18% after
announcing it would cut staff by 10%), Monaco Coach (up 15% after
reporting strong orders for new recreational vehicles), and Zions
Bancorp (up 5% on an analyst's recommendation). Also up significantly
was Micro General, which rose nearly 12% on news it would increase its
ownership stake in RealEC Technologies to 56%.
This week Mormon News is enhancing its listings by adding to date
performance for the current quarter and year. The enhanced reporting
will alow users to see which stocks have performed well during those
periods and how well the index as a whole is doing during the same
periods. The Mormon Stock Index is up nearly 27% for the current
quarter, and up 2% so far in 2001, outperforming all the broader indexes
(all of which are down at least 7.5%) so far this year and trailing just
the NASDAQ in the current quarter.
