The stock market just finished a relatively uneventful week. The S&P 500 index gained 1.2%, the Dow Jones Industrials lost 0.7%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite market barometer rose 0.8% higher.

Haptic feedback technologist Immersion Technologies (IMMR -1.37%) and Internet-based communications veteran Vonage Holdings (VG) jumped on highly satisfying earnings reports, as is typical in the midst of a hectic earnings season. Meanwhile, processor designer Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -4.76%) took the road less traveled, rising for no obvious reason at all until the upwards pressure sparked a serious short squeeze.
