The NASDAQ has been outperforming the other major indexes by a large amount the past few weeks in particular; in fact we briefly turned positive on the year (pre Geithner song and dance Tuesday) in that index. I was curious to see what stocks have been driving the NASDAQ the past month, so I've compiled this list
Here are the criteria
Criteria
- Market capitalization $750M+
- Average trading volume 100K+
- Stock price $10+
- Return past 30 days 13%+
- NASDAQ
A lot of old friends or former holdings around... unfortunately only Illumina is a current holding. The "adult education" stocks make their perfunctory appearance and we even have one financial Northern Trust (NTRS) - which is like State Street (STT) but with skill.
