From street analyst....
<<That's another reason NASDAQ was so strong.... Speaking of MCI WorldCom, it was among the 15 stocks that Salomon Smith Barney just named in its list of "Ten+ Exceptional Names" for the coming year. The other 14 are Albertson's, Allstate, Amgen, Bank of New York, Dayton Hudson, EDS, Fort James, Honeywell, Lucent, Marsh & McLennan, Pitney Bowes, and Raytheon. The 1998 list, according to the firm, has risen 42.8% vs. a 23.3% gain for the S&P 500 over the same period.... Biogen beat the Street's earnings consensus by 2 cents in the latest quarter. Look for strength in this Boston biotech company Friday.... I can't wait for next week. Some huge earnings reports are due out like Intel and Motorola on Tuesday and Apple and Ford on Wednesday.... Expect shares of Qualcomm to jump on Friday. It's replacing Transamerica in the S&P 500.>> |
