The Dow Breaks a Record, Thanks to Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO), Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ)

Another stock that fell yesterday but posted a strong gain today was Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ) . After dropping by 0.79% on Monday, shares rose by 2% today. Earlier today, the ISS, a well-known proxy advisory firm, released a statement recommending that Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ) shareholders vote against re-electing a number of the company’s board members. Because of their roles in approving the ill-fated Autonomy acquisition, the ISS thinks Chairman Ray Lane, John Hammergen, and G. Kennedy Thompson should be removed from their seats. HP eventually wrote down $8.8 billion of the $10.3 billion it paid for Autonomy.
