Long Island stocks on move

Two Long Island companies whose stocks moved significantly during the week ending Nov. 19, 2010.

Fonar
(FONR)
Melville
$1.64 (week's change: +60.8%) 
52-week return: -31.4%

Shares zoomed after the maker of upright MRIs swung to a profit from a loss in the same quarter a year ago. Fonar said its quarterly profit "has largely been done by cutting costs."

CVD Equipment
(CVV)
Ronkonkoma
$6.99 (week's change: -10.8%) 
52-week return: +110.5%

High-flying shares pulled back a bit after the manufacturer of equipment used by chip makers said recent strong order levels are "perhaps not sustainable continuously in the short term."
