Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Small Loss at Hutch Tech Surprises Wall Street: The Battered Maker of Disk Drive Components Lost Just 4 Cents a Share and Announced Plans to Open a Plant in Thailand.

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:49:00 GMT

Nov. 3--Hutchinson Technology, which escaped ruin a year ago by cutting 45 percent of its workforce and slashing costs, beat Wall Street expectations Monday with adjusted fourth-quarter income just below break-even.
Adjusted income was a loss of 4 cents a share compared with a Wall Street expectation of an 8-cent loss.
A year ago, the Hutchinson-based company was reeling from a downturn in the global economy, and in April it suffered another blow when a major customer, California disk drive maker Seagate Technology, said it would take its business elsewhere.
