Google, Microsoft, & Yahoo All Up….In the Stock Market


As you probably heard yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial had its largest rise in history within an increase of over 930 points.

The Dow Jones industrial average shot upward a stunning 936 points — a record one-day point gain — to close at 9,387.61. By day’s end, investors had regained $1.2 trillion of the estimated $2.4 trillion in shareholder value wiped out last week, according to the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, which represents nearly all stocks traded in America.


I thought it would be specifically interesting to see how some companies involved in the search marketing industry performed yesterday. I wish I had purchased a few thousand shares of all of them.
