Stocks That Missed The Rally

Among the most widely held stocks there are a few that missed the rally today. This is usually a sign that they are viewed poorly by Wall Street or may be trading at such high multiples that further gains are not likely near-term. Either way, stocks that did not have on rally caps are probably not candidates for appreciation any time soon.

The Nasdaq was up slightly less than 3% today. Some stocks that trade a lot of shares were up much less:

Microsoft (MSFT) +1.34%
Oracle (ORCL) +1.1%
Sirius (SIRI) +1.5%
Ebay (EBAY) +1.77%


The Dow was up slightly less than 2%. A few widely traded stocks missed the boat:

Ford (F) +.63%
Tenet (THC) -1.8%
GE (GE) +1.03%
Boston Sci. (BSX) -.06%
Home Depot (HD) +.83%
AT&T (T) +1.06%
Time Warner (TWX) +.99%
Sprint/Next (S) +1.06%
