These 2 Old-School Nasdaq Stocks Flew High on Friday

The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) got some much-needed relief on Friday, with the market benchmark finally regaining a little bit of ground after a brutal sell-off that lasted much of the week. As of 2:30 p.m. EST, the Nasdaq was still up about half a percent, although that was well below where it had been at its highs. Many investors think of the Nasdaq as being synonymous with technology stocks, and it's definitely true that many of the companies with the most weight and influence in the Nasdaq do indeed have ties to tech.
