(FOOL GLOBAL WIRE)
by Robert Sheard (MF DowMan)

LEXINGTON, KY. (August 5): The IFG Portfolio had a case of the Monday blues today, dropping 1.7% in a generally flat market. There's nothing really to be made of today, so I won't go looking for trouble. Suffice it to say that no one should lose sleep over days like this. The Nasdaq slipped a little more than the Dow and the S&P 500, and with it, so goes IFG.

In news announcements, 3Com <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:COMS)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:COMS)") end if %> is now shipping its first Fast Ethernet network interface card (NIC) for the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus -- the Fast EtherLink ISA 10/100BASE-TX Parallel Tasking NIC.

The Fast EtherLink ISA 10/100 NIC, part of 3Com's complete, enterprise-wide Fast Ethernet offering, provides customers with an easy migration path to high-speed networking while maximizing the investment in and extending the life of ISA PCs. Well, of course, I knew that!

And finally, Hewlett-Packard <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE:HWP)") else Response.Write("(NYSE:HWP)") end if %> said it signed an agreement to buy Trellis Software & Controls Inc., a motion-control software company based in Rochester Hills, Mich. The acquisition should enhance HP's expertise in precision motion control, it said. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

That's all the news stories, IFG fans. In this weekend's monthly Relative Strength model update, only one move was made: Nichols Research <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:NRES)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:NRES)") end if %> dropped off the list and was replaced by an old hand around the IFG stables, Computer Associates <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE:CA)") else Response.Write("(NYSE:CA)") end if %>.
