HEXUS.sharewatch: Sony and EA take a beating

NVIDIA struggles

Symantec announced decent results and saw its shares go up by around ten percent as a result. Motorola suprised everyone by turning a profit and saw its shares go up by a quarter accorningly.

Another result for Carl Icahn there, let's see if he can do the same at Yahoo!, which saw its shares drop to a five tear low last week. Yahoo investors must be looking at Microsoft's $33 per share offer and the current price of $19.80 and muttering resentfully.

Elsewhere in today's chart NVIDIA has suffered another drop following rumours, which is has denied, that it is getting out of the chipset business.

There's no clear reason for the drop in Google shares although maybe it's linked to the Yahoo! developments as it still remains to be seen what the nature of any advertising tie-up between the two might look like,

One last observation: all three stock markets showed almost no weekly movement. That can't happen very often.
