Tallahassee paper adds Money & Markets to Sunday paper

Dave Hodges, the business editor of the Tallahassee Democrat, writes Saturday that the paper will make changes to its Sunday stock listings.

Hodges wrote, “Sunday’s Business & Growth section will include a new feature called Money & Markets Extra. It is a report on how the equities markets did for the week, along with more detailed information on which stocks had gains and which ones faltered or fell.

“You’ll notice, too, that the emphasis is going to be more on market performance over time, not just reporting results for particular stocks. Each week, Money & Markets Extra will help you spot trends that may have bearing on your investment decisions.

“One example will be a chart tracking the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indexes, the two most widely watched on Wall Street. There’s a graph for each and a recap of daily performance for the past week.

“The first thing you’ll notice Sunday is an expanded table for stocks of local interest. We have increased the list to include various companies that you have suggested we add, plus others that have sizable operations in our area.”
