&lt;p&gt;(See update) Despite the Dow&#039;s zig-zag ride on Wednesday, technology stocks are faring relatively well. Apple had recovered more than 5% toward the middle of the afternoon, and eBay was up more than 7.5%. However, several companies saw their stock prices drop. IBM &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/10/07/ap5521832.html&quot;&gt;lost ground after an analyst downgrade&lt;/a&gt;, and Yahoo dropped to a 52-week low over questions about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thestreet.com/story/10441455/1/yahoo-shares-plunge-to-five-year-low.html&quot;&gt;future revenue opportunities in an advertising slowdown&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
