| For the Week ending
July 11, 2008 |
 Wall Street’s downward spiral of late added a rollercoaster feature last week, and our Supply Chain and Logistics stock index mostly benefited from the wild ride.
In the software group, results were mixed as JDA climbed 7.2% while Logility fell 7.8%. In the hardware group, both Intermec and Zebra lost ground (14% and 4.3%, respectively). In the transportation and logistics group, Yellow Roadway was up 8.8% on the heels of naming Phil Gaines as the new President of Yellow Transportation and Ken Bowman as Senior Vice President of Finance. Also in the group, CSX had a good week with a gain of 5.7%, followed by Norfolk Southern (up 4.9%).
