Mother's Day is such a
universal imperative
that even the market behaved itself last
week. Mother mustn't be displeased.
All but four of the 29 GTI stocks had gains
for the week. Microvision's (MVIS) 21% led
the pack. Corning (GLW), which is at a new
52-week high, gained 7% and is now up
36% in the six weeks it has been in the
GTI (this time around).
We'll gladly take the GTI's Mother's Day gift
of 4.0%. Up weeks have been few and far
between this year. Even with it, the GTI is
still in the hole for 2005 by more than 13%.
