Not
Much Resistance
Shadowing
Nasdaq, the Asiaweek/CNN Internet Index breaks bad again, hitting its
all-time low
The year 2000 is drawing to a close, and there is still no sign of that
stock-market resistance level we've heard so much about. In the last 30
days, ballot fingering in the U.S. and lingering doubts over the soundness
of technology-stock earnings made a mockery of the 3,000-point level on
Nasdaq, which fell to 2,700 before recovering a bit. The Asiaweek/CNN
Internet Index took a whuppin', too. It now looks to be firmly ensconced
below 100 points, for the past week hovering around 95. That means shares
are trading at their all-time Index lows. The Asian tech-stock portfolio
launched in mid-1999 at 100 points.

A few stocks,
including Samsung Electronics, are off the 52-week lows they hit last month.
No joy for punters holding Rakuten. Shares in the Japanese e-tailer lost
about 44% in October and 58% in November. Anyone up for some year-end tax-loss
selling?
