On Friday November 18 the index ended up at 2,572.50
giving up 15.49 points or 0.6% compared to Thursday. During last week Nasdaq
dropped 4% as markets reflected sharply anxiety that debt crisis in Europe
could extend and hit US banks. The index was affected negatively by Salesforce.com's drop in stock price of 10% after reporting its lower-than-expected quarterly
results.
