Shares of Microsoft rose today, but Apple slipped, falling 10% off its record high into correction territory, dragging the Nasdaq down. Apple fell 2.5% to $572.98, and the stock ended the week down more than 5%. The sector also took a hit from SanDisk after the memory maker posted a profit drop and issued a disappointing outlook. Sandisk ended down 11.25% to 35.41. |
May Crude rose 0.8%, to $103.05 a barrel on the New York Merc and natural gas rebounded slightly after closing yesterday at its lowest price since September 2001. |
