MSI: Index Rises with Markets, but Lags Dow, NYSE
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The Mormon Stock Index rose about one half of
one percent last week, in line with other market indexes but trailing
them slightly as stocks were overall mixed for the week. The MSI
reached 111.00, at the end of the week, down slightly so far this
quarter, but still up 11% in its two-year history.
Overall, 26 of the 47 stocks in the index rose last week, while 21
fell. But down stocks included several large decreasess. Giant
computer services firm ACS, the largest of the down stocks, fell over
10% after giving an up, but smaller than expected earnings report.
Other down stocks included Micro General (down nearly 15%), Microsemi
Corp. (down over 13%) and Franklin Covey, which continued dropping
this week, giving up another 17% of its value.
But the down stocks were more than offest by large increases in two
of the index's transportation stocks, Knight Transportation (up
11.7%) and Swift Transportation (up 10.5%). Also pushing up the index
was an 8.6% rise at Cadence Design, which also reported positive
earnings, but better than those analysts had expected.
