Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

As the second quarter comes to a close, investors are at a crossroads. After running up the market more than 30 percent in three months on a litany of "less bad" economic data, investors have become skeptical of the economy's recovery in recent weeks, desiring more concrete signs of growth.

Reflecting the market's wary outlook, investors bought up Treasury’s, sending yields lower.

There is little by way of economic or corporate news scheduled for Monday. However, this week, which is shortened by the Independence Day holiday on Friday, brings key data that will give investors a better sense of where the economy is headed.

Of particular importance is the government's monthly employment report, due Thursday. Though considered a lagging indicator of the country's economic health, the unemployment rate is still one of the most closely watched gauges of the economy. The labor market is intricately tied to many facets of the economy, including consumer spending.

Investors will also get readings on consumer confidence and manufacturing this week.

In early morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 8.85, or 0.1 percent, to 8,429.54. The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped 2.72, or 0.3 percent, to 916.18, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 10.71, or 0.6 percent, to 1,827.51.

Though the Dow Jones industrial average is still up 28.9 percent from a 12-year low on March 9, it has fallen 4.1 percent from a five-month high on June 12.

Yesterday’s Top Performing Small Cap stock:

HearAtLast Holdings, Inc., a leading provider of suitable affordable solutions to clients with hearing needs in the billion dollar hearing loss market, announced that in keeping with its tradition of bringing innovative new products to consumers, the Company announces the unveiling of breakthrough hearing products based on the Neuro-Compensator(TM) algorithm technology from VitaSound Audio.

The NEURO-COMPENSATOR(TM) hearing instruments are powered by the newest groundbreaking neuro-biological technology designed to optimize the auditory nerve output. Based on many years of research at McMaster University into the electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain by the auditory nerves in healthy and impaired ears, this patented technology is designed to significantly improve the perceived audio quality in hearing devices. Using standard audiometric test data, the algorithm engine derives a customized map of an individual's auditory system and configures the hearing device to optimize auditory nerve output for that individual. Clarity of sound, perception of true pitch, and more normal perception of own voice are just some of the benefits noted by trial subjects.
