Hesitant but Upward Inclined

Hesitant but Upward Inclined Nishtar THE stock market simply idled away its time last week. Instead of moving up and down, it drifted sideways at a slow pace. Interest tended to be extremely selective. Over the weekend, gains outnumbered losses but excepting a few isolated counters, net changes were confined within a narrow range. The mid- April high mark has not been touched again but the market has not moved much away from it either; it has kept very close to it all the time.
