The Technology Index

When we started the technology index, we wanted a good measure of the technology stocks most people own. Cisco, Microsoft, Intel and Dell. I also wanted a feel for large capitalization firms that are trying to challenge these leaders. Most of all, I was sure the market had not yet bottomed out.

Tough Politics

George W. Bush pledged to change the tone in Washington when he arrived at the White House. He has acted in a more civil in his public remarks toward the Democratic party. During this period, Tom Daschle has played hardball partisan politics, gotten a free ride from the media and now controls the Senate.

The Week Ahead

What might happen in the stock markets next week.
