Weekly Update

04/21/2006

Investment headlines this week were dominated by earnings announcements, rising oil prices, and signs that the Federal Reserve may soon end interest rate hikes. Light crude closed the week at $75.17 per barrel, causing the stock of oil and alternative energy companies to continue their positive momentum. But the main reason for our strong performance this week was the arrival of better-than-expected quarterly earnings announcements from companies like MoneyGram (MGI), Freescale (FSL), and Rush Enterprises, Inc. (RUSHA).
