NASDAQ (New York) Market Overview
Year: 2012 Week: 13
Week 13 turned out to be pretty volatile which should have caused headache to investors. The week started
with all three major indexes growing steadily and robustly, reaching their peaks at the end of Tuesday with
NASDAQ Composite (IXIC) growing most rapidly. However, indexes growth slowed down on Wednesday
and Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJI) reached the negative growth territory in the second part of the day, while S&P 500 (INX) was pretty close as well. Only at the end of the day indexes rebounded
modestly. Thursday started with U.S. labor market news and Ben Bernanke‟s speech about weak economic
growth in U.S., which undercut optimism in the stock market.
However, at the end of the day investors‟ mood changed after jobs data revision and indexes started
growing. Stock prices were maintained throughout Friday with the help of U.S. economic data which
showed U.S. consumer spending and sentiment rising. Week ended with all three indexes indicating growth:
Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJI) grew by 1.00%, S&P 500 (INX) grew by 0.81% and even
though NASDAQ Composite (IXIC) was growing most rapidly during the whole week, the index finished
the week growing by only 0.77%.

NASDAQ Composite (IXIC) started the week with 3,067.92 points and finished with 3,091.57 points. The
index started week 13 growing robustly and above other 2 major indexes, but slowed down and finished the
week with slowest growth, although there is a minor difference in the growth rates among all mentioned
indexes. Weekly volume in NASDAQ Composite (IXIC) was 277,001,988,851 USD.
The biggest winner of this week is Princeton National Bancorp (PNBC) with its outstanding performance,
which resulted in 126.38% growth. Tennessee Commerce Bancorp Inc. (TNCC) and Amylin
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMLN) showed impressive results as well resulting in 100.00% and 60.82%
growth respectively.
This week was very unfortunate for Princeton Review Inc. (REVU), Dialogic Inc. (DLGC) and GLG Life
Tech Corp (GLGL) that saw their share price decrease by 48.29%, 36.02% and 31.19% respectively.

The largest 126.38% price change during the week was achieved by Princeton National Bancorp Inc.
(PNBC) a single-bank holding company which provides commercial banking and trust services. No
significant price fluctuations were observed until Thursday morning when sudden trading activity took over
the trend. Presumably, the hearsay about unaudited first quarter results (Q1) was one of the main reasons
that induced a greater interest in the stock, which was considered to be undervalued for the last three months.
Speculations quickly drove the price upwards, making a huge 2.09 USD leap in two days and closing at 3.69
USD on Friday. On the same day after the official market hours have ended Princeton National Bancorp
released its 2011 results. Unfortunately, the performance was worse in comparison with the year 2010,
making a slight net loss. Having said this, a correction in stock price is expected to occur in the nearest
future.

The second largest winner of the week Tennessee Commerce Bancorp Inc. (TNCC) reached a 100%
growth in share price, although the explanation for it is a bit tricky. A 1000 shares transaction occurred at the
very end of Friday„s trading session which increased the price from 0.005 to 0.020 USD. Seemingly, such an
action was driven by speculative motives; therefore, future„s projections are very obscure and indefinite.
Third outstanding winner of the weak is Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AMLN), a biopharmaceutical
company discovering, developing and commercializing medicines, such as diabetes and other metabolic
diseases. During the week 13 company„s share price has grown significantly from 15.52USD to 24.96USD,
which is an increase of 60.82%. AMLN share price had been gradually declining for few weeks in the row.
The same thing had been happening on Monday and Tuesday till the breaking news pop-up. On 28 March
Amylin Pharmaceuticals rejected 3.5USD billion offer of selling the company to Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.
(BMY). Afterwards, the Deutsche Bank analysts also notified that the share price could be worth even
31USD. So, confidence of the company and positive forecast of analysts engaged investors to buy stocks and
the price suddenly increased by 62% on the same day. It is highly possible that in the future trend will be
supported by the last 3 days growth and knowing predictions of analysts‟ will e ven strengthen this rise.
Thus, investors should think of acquiring AMLN stocks.

The worst performer of the week is Princeton Review Inc. (REVU) with a 48.29% decrease in the share
price. The provider of in-person, online and print education products and services has announced that
company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an affiliate of Charlesbank Capital Partners on the
29th
of March. Substantially all of the assets of the Company's Higher Education Readiness Division (the
"HER Division"), including the name and brand of The Princeton Review, is being sold for a buyer.
Furthermore, Princeton Review Inc. received a notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
("NASDAQ") stating that the company's common stock would be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital
Market effective at the open of the market on April 3, 2012, unless the Company appeals NASDAQ's
determination. Since the latter option in not very realistic, investors were rushing to dispose of Princeton
Review Inc. shares. To conclude, projections of the future performance are not necessary anymore, so all
what is left is to say “farewell”.
The second worst performer of the week is Dialogic Inc. (DLGC) with a 36.02% decrease in share price.
Funny enough, last week the same company was the first largest winner (86.30 % increase in the share
price). Apparently, successful performance of the company (announcement of 2011 financial reports where
total revenues increased significantly, achieving the highest non-GAAP Gross Margins and EBITDA in the
company‟s history) was outweighed by investors‟ willingness to take the profits; therefore, gradual
correction followed by relatively small volumes occurred in the market. It is very likely that company„s
share price will be fluctuating around the current 0.87USD level (as in the last two trading days) in the
nearest future, since market itself developed a new support line which is not likely to change until new
product launches or financial announcements.

Week 13 finished with stock market growing modestly. While the growth might cheer investors up, the
volatility in the market creates uncertainty about whether the market will grow or turn downwards next
week. Swings in share prices could well be explained by fundamental factors, such as U.S. labor market data
and other economic indicators. It is uncertain whether stock market will maintain its momentum, but it is
sure that the trend of the market will strongly depend on economic data not only in U.S. but in other parts of
the World as well.
