The primary stock indices in the U.S. experienced a wild day. Money in the
stock market fluctuated as did the primary index composites. The positive news
in the U.S. related to optimistic feelings pertaining to progressive talks
within the German parliament. In addition, unemployment claims posted stronger
than expected and the GDP reading was better than most were anticipating. Some
sectors still performed better than others however. The Nasdaq finished off the
trading session lower overall amidst the positively skewed economic data in the
U.S. Financial stocks did well during the last trading session and this sector
experienced noteworthy gains throughout the day. The tech heavy Nasdaq
experienced negative pressure as tech stocks dropped lower. The positive
economic based news was not enough to help the tech sector pull out of its
decent. Officially for the day, the Nasdaq fell lower overall by 11 points or
.43 percent to close out at 2,480.76. The biggest Nasdaq loser of the day was
Netflix Inc. NFLX dropped lower by almost 11 percent or 13.95 points to end the
trading session at 113.19 according to MSN stock quotes. After hours trading
continued to reveal negative trends for the corporation. Previous close for
Netflix posted at 127.14. Ultimately, Netflix shares got smashed as the day
overall was not good for the tech heavy Nasdaq. Frank Matto
