The Daily IFG Report

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

LEXINGTON, KY. (August 7): A late rally in the Dow stocks couldn't keep up with the big day in technology stocks. And as usual, the IFG portfolio moves in tandem with the Nasdaq more than the other indices, so it was a very nice day for our model, up 1.27%.

Still just hovering around the break-even point for the year (up 1.84%), IFG has struggled a bit, but signs of life in stocks like Tellabs <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:TLAB)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:TLAB)") end if %>, SCI Systems <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:SCIS)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:SCIS)") end if %>, 3Com <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:COMS)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:COMS)") end if %>, and even Hewlett-Packard <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE:HWP)") else Response.Write("(NYSE:HWP)") end if %> over the last two weeks have helped the portfolio bounce back.

Provided AOL doesn't take a nose-dive again today, we should have a regular full report for you this evening. Fool on!
