2008-02-11T07:11:00.000-08:00

U.S. stocks dropped and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index posted its biggest weekly slide since early March on concern that banks will be saddled with losses on mortgage bonds as the 10-month-old High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund, run by Bear Stearns senior managing director Ralph Cioffi, has lost about 20 percent this year and faced pressure from its creditors Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America among others. During the week the Dow led the way with a -2.1% loss followed by the S&P 500 -2.0%, the Russell 2000 -1.6%, and the Nasdaq -1.4%. The Chicago Board Options Exchange SPX Volatility Index, or VIX, jumped 13%.
This week’s top performing sectors on a relative basis were Technology and Industrials with a gain of 0.87% and 0.62% respectively. The poor sector performers were Utilities with a loss of 1.72% and Health Care with a decline of 0.85%. Additionally
The chart of the normalized ratio of the Industrials SPDR (XLI) reveals that the Industrials Sector recently broke out of a tight trading range and is still on the rise. The Healtcare Sector (XLV) is still looking for a bottom, as the normalized ratio is near its 10-year low after a sharp decline in the last two months. The shaded areas represent two standard deviations above and below the SPDR’s 50-day moving average.

Health Tip: Reduce Stress at Work
Suggestions to try

Monday, Feb. 11
(HealthDay News) - Your job can be a great source of stress, which can significantly impact your physical and emotional health.

The AARP offers these suggestions for handling stress on the job:

Set up regular evaluations and meetings with your manager to establish expectations, goals and discuss your workload.
Build your prioritization and time management skills, so that you avoid having to always work overtime, or take work home with you. Allow yourself free time away from work to relax and do things you enjoy.
Take advantage of any flexible work schedules, long lunch breaks and exercise opportunities that your employer offers.
Don't check email or answer work-related calls at home, unless it can't be avoided.
Recognize when it's time to look for another job if your current one is causing significant stress and unhappiness.
