Last week's sectors in the news

Educational stocks such as APOL and STRA were winners last week when APOL reported earnings ten cents above street estimates.

Losers were Retailers when only WMT reported a same stores gain in December (+1.2% year over year) while everyone else reported declines.

Insurance companies are taking a hit today as AET has lowered earnings guidance going forward.

LEN was in the news last Fri when a rumor floated on the blogs that they might be an indirect Ponzi scheme given their financial condition is considered the weakest of the homebuilders.
