Local stocks tumble

By Jim Butman

The BizTimes Stock Index dropped an astounding 8.87 points to close at 165.34 Monday, and local stocks slid again in early morning trading today ahead of an expected decision by the Federal Reserve Bank to cut its key interest rate this afternoon. The largest local decliners this morning were Bucyrus International Inc. (down $2.89 to $93.49) and Harley-Davidson Inc. (down $1.14 to $47.19). The BizTimes Stock Index was created by Small Business Times and is monitored by North Shore Bank. The index, which measures the stock values of publicly held companies based in southeastern Wisconsin, is updated daily and can be viewed at www.biztimes.com.
