MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is down 9.97 or .71% as of 2:45 p.m. today. Contributing to the decline is the optical communications manufacturer, JDS Uniphase (JDSU), which fell .70 or 5.96%. This company is joined by Sears (SHLD) which suffered a steep decline today of 4.34 or 7.35%, despite its major gains yesterday. However, today’s big loser is First Solar Inc. (FSLR), which tanked by 3.81 or 15.76% under revelations on its poor returns on equity.
Education institution operator DeVry Inc. (DV) is one of today’s big winners, rising .485 or 2.61%, most likely due to enrollment numbers for this school year. Following this company is video game retailer, GameStop (GME), which gained .63 or 3.39%, continuing the rise it started yesterday. Gap (GPS) leads the pack, rising 1.10 or 3.13%, due to a better-than-expected sales report.
