Abstract

A busy week on Wall Street saw Nasdaq Composite shares gain an average of 10% thanks to a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. However, longtime Warren Buffett-associated stocks Coca Cola and Gillette lowered growth and earnings forecasts. Holders of M&F Worldwide are protesting its board's decision to bail out audacious Ronald O. Perelman's troubled Panavision. The FASB will delay its June 30 ban on pooling accounting of mergers for 6 months.
