The Nasdaq closed in the red after tech shares dragged the index lower following Dell’s revised sales forecast.

During the day, the blue chip index managed to touch an intraday high of 124 points and an intraday low of 84 points.

		<description><![CDATA[Positive economic reports on the U.S. front and lingering optimism from Thursday&#8217;s Greek deal are expected to help stocks push higher today. Approval from the Greek parliament next week for the new austerity plan will pave the way for a fresh multi-year rescue fund for the country. On the domestic economic front, we got a better-than-expected Durable Goods report for May and the first quarter GDP growth estimate was modestly revised higher. The positive Durable Goods report is evidence that the manufacturing sector is still quite healthy. The internals of the report were also quite good, showing a reversal of the negative trend that we saw in the April report. Other than the reassuring report on the manufacturing side, a positive recent development has been the downtrend in oil prices. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We continue to maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation on Southern Union Company (SUG), supported by a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold). The Houston-based company is one of the U.S.’s leading diversified natural gas companies, engaged primarily in the transportation, storage, gathering, processing and distribution of natural gas. The company owns one of the largest interstate pipeline networks in the U.S. and one of the largest LNG import terminals in North America. However, valuation continues to be restricted by the company’s dependence on outside funds to finance its expansion programs, as well as seasonality in its pipeline business and re-contracting uncertainty for its percent of proceed (POP) contracts. Thus, in the absence of further positive motivation, we feel the company is adequately valued, leaving little room for upside in the near-term. Southern ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southern Union Company (SUG) reported adjusted earnings per share of 44 cents in the first quarter of 2010, compared with 56 cents in the first quarter of 2009. The results of the company fell 8 cents short of the Zacks Consensus expectation of 52 cents per share. The adjusted net income during the first quarter 2010 was $55.2 million versus the reported net income of $54.3 million. The results differed due to a mark-to-market (MTM) gain of $6.9 million recorded in the prior accounting period, changes in the tax treatment for Medical Part D subsidies of $4.2 million and a MTM loss of $3.6 million on opening hedges. Total Revenue Total revenue at Southern Union in the first quarter 2010 was better than the revenue generated in the comparable year-ago quarter. ]]></description>
