After the Bell: A Grand Finale May 04, 2001 7:34:00 PM ET Despite Thursday's dip, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite were up for the week. The Dow gained 141.19 points, or 1.3 percent, to 10951.24. The Nasdaq rose 115.85 points, or 5.6 percent, to 2191.53. Friday's after-hours market showed trading that was less active than normal among many late all-stars, including Sun Microsystems and JDS Uniphase. Silicon memory product maker Rambus saw decent action after hours, gaining 78 cents, or 5.34 percent, to $15.38. The company said Friday that it will appeal a U.S. District Court decision dismissing its patent-infringement suits against Infineon Technologies. Also moving higher after hours was broadband services company McLeodUSA. The stock rose 15 cents, or 2.49 percent, to $6.18. For the day, it had dropped more than 10 percent on a downgrade in the wake of its earnings report. New interest in online career marketplace HotJobs.com has lifted the company's stock again. Shares are up 90 cents, or 15 percent, to $6.90. HotJobs' better-than-expected earnings report boosted it this week from a recent low of $2.80. Dutch semiconductor company ASML Lithogaphy was up 87 cents, or 10.7 percent, to $29.70. On Thursday, the company announced that the U.S. government has cleared the company's purchase of Silicon Valley Group, a company that has a hand in crafting lenses for spy satellites, even though lenses are not ASML's core business. Silicon Valley Group makes semiconductor processing equipment. For now, investors will take their gains into the weekend. But will they hold out to hear what Cisco has to say on Tuesday afternoon? Only Monday will tell. Visit www.thestandard.com
