The technology laden Nasdaq was up 22 points to 2348. The S&P dropped seven points to 1236. The Russell 2000 was up one point to 428. On the Big Board Decliners led advancers 1625 to 1275 on volume of 470 million shares traded. Stocks started out on a promising note, getting a boost from the multibillion-dollar merger of ATHOME CORP. (ATHM: 107-1/2, + 5-1/2) and EXCITE INC. (XCIT: 100-5/8, + 33-1/8) and a spate of positive earnings reports in the banking and financial services sector.
