Summer Rally Underway
by Richard Black

May 30, 2000 - Tech stocks rallied across
the board Tuesday following the holiday
weekend respite. Blue chips finished off
the day much as they began, as the NYSE
jumped 227.89 to 10,527.13, while strength
in Internet issues helped rocket the
Nasdaq higher 254.21 to 3,459.32. The
ISDEX joined in the celebration roaring
9.76%.

The usual basket of bellwether suspects
led the Net march, with Internet service
provider America Online (NYSE:AOL) off to a flying start, up 5-1/16 to
53-9/16. Following its 2-for-1 stock split last week, online auctioneer eBay
(NASDAQ:EBAY) was performing nicely, climbing 5 to 66-15/16.

Business-to-business stocks showed some signs of recovery after a brutal
month of May. Shares of B2B vortal community VerticalNet bounced
5-1/16 to 34-1/4, still nearly 80% from its 52-week high. B2B incubator
Internet Capital Group (NASDAQ:ICGE) tacked on 3-13/16 to 29-5/8,
and Freemarkets (NASDAQ:FMKT) leapt 8-13/16 to 46-1/16, still 85%
off its 52-week perch.
