Shares of iFinix Corp. (OTC: INXR) surged 12.5% last Friday, with nearly 109 million shares traded. iFinix announced on Friday that the development of the eFinix system is nearing completion and will be available to the public in the near future. The company (in conjunction with their marketing and advertising firm Ed Yeaker Associates) has determined that the forthcoming advertising campaign should channel all of its resources to launch the eFinix system into the homes and offices of the individual investor. This decision was based on the company's belief that, by drawing from its proprietary technology currently found in Phoenix Pro, the eFinix system will be superior to any other system available in the same price range. eFinix, a web-enabled tool, will maintain many of the robust features of Phoenix Pro, and provide complete market information, charting, technical analysis and level II market quotes to the investor at lower prices than the competition.

Auto parts supplier Lear Corp. (NYSE: LEA) said Friday that it agreed to a buyout offer by a group affiliated with billionaire investor activist Carl Icahn for about $2.8 billion, but left the door open for a better offer. At least one major shareholder said he would try to get others who own stock to oppose the deal. Under the agreement, Icahn-controlled American Real Estate Partners LP (NYSE: ACP) is paying $36 a share, and a Lear spokesman said that amounts to about $2.8 billion. It also includes the assumption of about $2.5 billion in debt.

Alcatel-Lucent SA (NYSE: ALU) said on Friday that it plans to cut another 3,500 jobs after it swung to a loss in the fourth quarter, the first earnings report from the recently combined telecom equipment maker. The Paris-based company cited tougher-than-expected market conditions, particularly in North America, and uncertainty among customers in the wake of the combination of the French and U.S. equipment makers.

MasterCard Inc. (NYSE: MA) said Friday that its fourth-quarter profit topped Wall Street expectations as consumer spending spiked, but the credit-card company warned margin growth may slow this year. The stock tumbled nearly 10 percent after hitting an all-time high in early trading. The Purchase-based company, which went public in May 2006, posted quarterly profit of $41 million, or 30 cents per share, compared with a loss of $53 million, or 39 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding the impact of litigation settlements, MasterCard reported a profit of $41 million, or 31 cents per share, in the latest period. Revenue rose 17.2 percent to $839 million from $716 million a year ago.

Fridays Close: Wall Street retreated sharply Friday as investors glumly absorbed a spike in oil prices and comments from two Federal Reserve officials that unexpected economic growth could prompt an interest rate hike. Stocks had spent most of the session in positive territory after Thursday's pullback made for fertile ground for bargain hunters. The market also got a lift from analyst upgrades of the automobile sector, which sent Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. higher.
