The stock market just finished a wacky week, with wild swings both up and down. By Friday night, the major indices had settled down fairly close to Monday's starting levels. The S&P 500 index rose as much as 1.3% before falling back to a 0.7% gain. The Dow Jones Industrials fell 1.3% at worst but recovered to a 0.6% final boost. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite market barometer dipped as much as 1.8% lower, and ended the week just 0.1% above breakeven.
But some tech stocks ignored that crazy roller coaster and spread their wings instead.
Mindbody (MB), (MB) which makes business management software for health and wellness operations, jumped 19% higher thanks to a fresh business partnership. Etsy (ETSY 0.49%) bounced 27% higher as investors forgave the handmade-goods marketplace for the previous week's earnings gaffe. Meanwhile, radio signal processor designer Qorvo (QRVO) gained 12% because of a shareholder-friendly buyback policy.
