SML8: Turn Your Head and Cough

So, that unlikeliest of possibilities has finally come to pass. Lockhed Martin has, at least temporarily, stopped its free fall. Too bad Aetna has now taken up the role of Loser of the Week...

Aetna: -4.93 to 76.45
Barnes & Noble: +1.03 to 41.34
Motorola: +0.50 to 20.00
Safeway: -0.62 to 23.75
Lockheed Martin: +0.25 to 62.00

Aetna has lost 7.87 over the past two weeks, which represents a 9.33% drop from its high value and a drop of 4.14% since the beginning of the semester. Of course, even with this week's gain, Lockheed Martin is still the big loser, with an overall loss of 4.70% of the opening value. And for the first time in this game, my overall gains are behind those of the market.

Aetna: -3.30 (-4.14%)
Barnes & Noble: +3.15 (+8.25%)
Motorola: +2.26 (+12.74%)
Safeway: +1.23 (+5.46%)
Lockheed Martin: -3.05 (-4.70%)

Overall Value: $103,498.00 (+3.50%)
S&P 500 Index: 1233.68 (+5.53%)

I love market volatility. T-bills, anyone?
