Markets reversed their winning streak and posted heavy losses with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plummeting 205 points or 1.7% to settle at 11,708.44. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined 2.0% to finish at 1,229.23. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index plunged 2.3% and closed at 2,638.42. Just a day after the fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped below the key-level of 30, incremental anxiety among investors once again took it 10% higher to trade over 32.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tumbled 3.5% to settle at 10,733.83. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) finished off at 1,129.58, plunging 3.2%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 303 points or 2.7% to settle at 10,992.13. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) also sank 2.7% to close at 1,154.23.

		<description><![CDATA[In what is being termed as the return of “Merger Monday”, an acquisition spree gave a boost to markets which posted its longest rally since early July. Additionally, positive economic news from Japan also brought joy to the markets and helped the Dow record its best three-day point gains since November 2008. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) jumped 213 points or 1.9% to settle at 11,482.90. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P500) gained 2.2% and closed the day at 1,204.49. The Nasdaq Composite Index surged 1.9% to finish the day at 2,555.20.

		<description><![CDATA[An unprecedented step by the Federal Reserve to keep the interest rate near zero for another two years returned cheer to the markets as the Dow soared up by 429 points. The Street finally enjoyed one of its best days in two years a day after it was sent crashing following Standard &#38; Poor’s downgrade of the US credit rating. Recouping most of the losses suffered on Monday, the indices breathed a sigh of relief, gaining substantive points. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 429 points or 4% to sign off at 11,239.77. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) surged 4.7% to close at 1,172.53 and the Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 5.3% to settle at 2,482.52. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) plunged 25%.

		<description><![CDATA[The specter of another recession haunted investors and dealt a body blow to the markets which crashed to their worst day since the economic crisis of 2008. On Wednesday, just when the Dow looked like ending its longest losing streak of nine days since Jimmy Carter held office, the index plunged over 500 points to record its ninth-steepest decline. The broad sell-off in the market and resulting panic led to the Dow, Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P) 500 and the Nasdaq plunging 4.3%, 4.8% and 5.1%, respectively. Each benchmark posted its share of records, though none of these brought any cheer to investors. The Dow settled at 11,383.83, losing 512 points, the steepest such decline since Dec. 1, 2008. However, the 512-point decline was far from the 778-points slide that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With no resolution in sight to the debt ceiling issue, heightened anxiety among investors led the benchmarks lower for the third consecutive day and markets posted their worst day in eight weeks. Adding to the woes, economic sluggishness continued to foster negative sentiments as the Dow seems to be en route to its biggest weekly decline since August last year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has now closed in the red for the past four days and on each of those past four occasions, the declines have got stronger. Yesterday, the blue-chip index settled at 12,302.55, after plunging 198.7 points or 1.6%, recording its biggest one-day drop since early June. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) lost 25 points to close at 1,304.89. The Nasdaq Composite Index suffered ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comments from Federal Chairman Ben Bernanke on the second day of his testimony to Congress dragged the markets into negative territory as he quelled all hopes of a third round of economic stimulus. Economic reports ahead of the opening bell had been encouraging, but failed to sustain the momentum as Bernanke dashed investors’ hopes and Moody’s said it has put the US’s bond rating under review for a possible downgrade. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) had a volatile run throughout the day as it jumped 90 points in the morning, receded 70 points in the afternoon, and recouped losses partially at the end to close 54 points or 0.4% lower at 12437.12. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) dropped 0.7% to finish the day at 1308.87, while the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow &#8212; this is a big miss. With analysts expecting 125,000 new jobs created in the the month of June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has just released the June nonfarm payroll numbers: a whopping total of 18,000 new jobs. This is also a surprise considering yesterday&#8217;s better-than-expected ADP employment numbers. So those who were calling for the U.S. economy to come to a screeching halt have plenty to crow about &#8212; but what about the rest of us? The private sector provided 57,000 jobs in the month, which is the lowest since May 2010. Government jobs continued their slow bleed with 39,000 fewer jobs in June. The unemployment rate rose to 9.2% from 9.1%. This is the highest level year-to-date. May numbers were revised upward from a still-paltry ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fresh from an extended 4th of July weekend, traders and investors must re-engage the markets and their myriad questions &#8212; debt ceiling getting raised? Greek bailout? etc. &#8212; to hopefully better navigate the turbulence that has claimed the trading market all season thus far. Earnings season kicks off next week with Alcoa (AA) posting its 2nd quarter results. In the meantime, a bevy of economic reports come down the pike in this holiday-shortened week. This morning, Factory Orders are expected to report a 1% gain for June, following a 1.2% loss the previous month. On Wednesday, we look toward the ISM Services Index, which is expected to pull back for the June reading but remain well north of the &#8220;magic 50&#8243; level that indicates growth or contraction. Also, the ADP ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets benefited once again from commodities on Wednesday, as a rebound in that sector not only lifted the broader markets but dragged the indices out of the negative territory. Meanwhile, Fed minutes and a positive earnings report from bellwether Dell added to the cheer. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.6% and settled at 12,560.18. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.9% to close at 1,340.68. The Nasdaq Composite Index inched up 1.1% to end the day at 2,815.00. On the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 6.5 billion shares, well below the average volumes of 8.4 billion shares last year.

		<description><![CDATA[Lukewarm economic data discouraged investors as it showed further signs of economic weakness and coupled with the negative outlook from Hewlett-Packard Company, the markets continued its stay in the red. However, on the back of favorable corporate results, the indices showed some resistance to limit its losses but could not prevent the markets from declining for the third-straight day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, during the day, had dropped 170 points but finally rebounded to close at 12,479.58, shedding 68 points or 0.5%. The Dow finished at its lowest level since April 20. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) dropped 0.04% to finish off at 1,328.98. However, the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.03%. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was up over 18.

It will pick up steam this week, when 111 members of the S&#38;P 500 are due to report. This week’s reporters are a virtual who’s who of American business, from Apple (AAPL) to Verizon (VZ) and from Ford (F) to McDonald’s (MCD). While far too early to draw any conclusions, it looks like we are off to a good start in the first quarter, with reported net income growth of 33.4%, actually up slightly from the 32.4% growth those same 32 firms reported in the fourth quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Alcoa Inc. (AA), the largest U.S. aluminum producer, has planned to raise capital by issuing public notes of $1.25 billion. The company expects net proceeds of more than $1.24 billion from the sale of these 5.40% notes due April 15, 2021. The transaction is expected to close on April 21, 2011. The Pittsburgh-based aluminum mining and processing company plans to use the proceeds from the offering together with the cash it already holds, to buy back two older series of notes: all of its 5.375% block due in 2013 and up to $400 million worth of its outstanding 6% series due in 2013. Alcoa intends to use any net proceeds remaining after this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment or repurchase of certain of the company’s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, a choppy session finally came to a close with the benchmarks gaining modest points as the Federal Reserve provided assurances that the economy was improving and President Barack Obama announced plans to cut the U.S. budget deficit by $4 trillion over the next 12 years. Initially, the markets were helped by upbeat earnings result from JPMorgan. However, as investors sensed worrying factors about the bank,financials arrested the markets from making further gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.06% to close at 12,270.99. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 Index (S&#38;P 500) rose 0.02% to end at 1,314.41 and the Nasdaq signed off at 2,761.52, gaining 0.61%. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) fell below 17.

(AA) the largest U.S. aluminum producer has kicked off another earnings season with its first quarter posting an EPS of 28 cents and exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. This excludes the negative impact of special items or 1 cent per share, including which the EPS is 27 cents per share.

		<description><![CDATA[Disappointing earnings result from Alcoa, declining crude prices, the worsening Japanese nuclear crisis and lower forecasts for economic growth combined to take the markets significantly lower on Tuesday. The Dow lost more than 100 points, heavily dragged by a 6% slide in Alcoa’s shares, while the other benchmarks inched down by almost a percentage. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lost 0.9% or 117.53 points to end at 12,263.58. This was its largest decline since March 16 this year. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed at 1,314.16, dropping 0.8% and the Nasdaq shed a percentage to finish the day at 2,744.79.

While it “officially” kicks off after the bell today when Alcoa (AA) reports, we already have 26 (5.2%) first quarter reports in from the S&#38;P 500. Alcoa, though, like the Master’s &#8212; is but the first of the majors. It will not be the only one in the early going. We will also hear from Google (GOOG), J.P. Morgan (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) this week. Together, they should provide some good clues to the overall direction of earnings season. One firm which is not a household name but we be good to keep an eye on is Fastenal (FAST). It is the number one maker of fasteners &#8212; things like screws and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets shed a few points, on Monday, as investors remained concerned about companies missing their earnings estimates. Lower oil prices pulled back the energy sector while blue chips managed moderate gains and outpaced the broader market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) happened to be the only gainer among the benchmarks as it increased marginally, by 0.01% to close at 12,381.11. The two other benchmarks, the Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) and the Nasdaq Composite Index, lost 0.28% and 0.32% to end at 1,324.46 and 2,771.51, respectively. As the markets wait for the earnings season to start officially from next week, composite volumes remained light on the New York Stock Exchange, Amex and Nasdaq with only 6.73 billion shares traded against last year&#8217;s daily average of 8.47 billion.

Weak US new home sales data took the markets to session lows during the day before rebuilding hopes pumped in modest momentum. However, the day saw very tight volumes, reflecting investors’ concern over global worries and bank-dividend disappointment. After trading in the negative zone during the early session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finally gained 0.6% and closed the day at 12,086.02. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 was up 0.3% and finished at 1,297.54. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,698.30 after surging 0.5%.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Tuesday, February 15, 2011 With some base metals smashing record highs, it’s difficult to focus on lackluster aluminum. Copper, for instance – a hedge fund favorite – hit a new high of $10,000 a metric ton on the London Metals Exchange last week. Aluminum just can’t compare, despite being second only to steel, in global metal usage. The lightweight material is used in everything from cars and planes to beverage cans. Yet one of last year’s most popular trades was on copper outperforming aluminum. That seems to be changing though, as hedge funds begin selling the former and buying the latter.

		<description><![CDATA[Fears of additional tightening measures by China to control inflation turned investors jittery on Thursday as markets shed a few points. Lackluster and mixed earnings reports did little to restore investors’ faith. However, positive economic data helped the indices avoid a big fall. Stronger than expected economic data from China in the fourth quarter of 2010 has led to fears that Beijing is intrude further tightening policies to combat inflation. Investors felt the pinch and the materials and energy sectors dipped lower. Positive domestic economic data played a major role in preventing indices from taking a bigger fall. The Labor Department reported jobless claims dropped by 37, 000 to 404,000 for the week ending January 15, 2011, the largest such decline since February 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, markets ended marginally lower and shed gains from the previous session. The dismal show of the indices yesterday was primarily due to disappointing economic data. However, successful bond auctions in Europe somewhat soothed investors’ frayed nerves. The Dow was down 0.2% and closed at 11,731.9. The S&#38;P 500 lost 0.2% and ended the day at 1,283.76. The Nasdaq composite edged down 0.1% and closed at 2,735.29. On the New York Stock Exchange, breadth of the market was marginally on the negative side and consolidated volumes stood at 4.4 billion shares. The economic data that caused much of the tension in the markets was from a report issued by the Labor Department. According to the report, the number of jobless claims surged to its highest level since October 2010. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets greeted investors with New Year wishes as they closed higher and major benchmarks set new records on Monday. Robust growth in manufacturing and a better-than-expected construction spending report helped the indices post significant gains. Investors can take lot of heart from this positive start as historical data suggests that markets opening up with gains usually leads to a successful year. According to reports from the Institute for supply Management, manufacturing data sprung higher with the new-orders index posting higher results. The manufacturing sector also jumped for the 17th consecutive month in December.  Additionally, data on the global front suggested that China’s inflation may subside after a slowdown in the manufacturing sector while Europe’s manufacturing sector posted better-than-expected growth during the last month. In addition, construction spending increased for the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U.S. stocks kicked off December on a solid note, with major averages climbing at least 2%, as a batch of upbeat economic data from the United States and China helped investors set aside eurozone contagion worries. The rally was led by material and energy shares. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped almost 250 points, or 2.3%, closing the day at 11255.85. The gains, biggest since early September, came on reports that private sector employers continued to add jobs in November. A big revision to October’s private sector payroll numbers and reports of improved economic activity in 10 of the 12 Fed regions boosted investors’ belief that the economy is beginning to strengthen. The broader Standard &#38; Poor’s 500-stock index advanced 25.52 points, or 2.2%, to 1206.07. The technology-laden Nasdaq ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks advanced broadly on Tuesday as investors turned their focus toward the results of mid-term elections and a two-day Federal Reserve meeting that is expected to unveil more measures to revive the economy.  The advance sent the Dow average to its highest close in more than six months as most of its components marked gains on the day. Interest rate hikes from central banks of India and Australia also had a part in yesterday’s rally. The 30-share blue-chip average advanced 64 points, or about 0.6%, to 11,188.72, its highest level since April 26. The broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index climbed more than 9 points, or nearly 0.8%, to 1193.57 and the technology-focused Nasdaq rose more than 28 points, or 1.1%, to 2533.52. On the New York Stock Exchange, three stocks rose ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U.S. stocks rose to their highest level since April amid renewed hopes that the Fed would soon initiate steps to stimulate economic growth. A jump in commodity prices, aided by a falling dollar, also helped push stocks higher and the blue-chip Dow average closed at its highest level since late April. Twenty-three of the 30 DJIA components ended in the green as the index gained 31 points, or 0.3%, to close at 11,164, its highest close in almost six months. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite index gained 11.46 points, or 0.5%, to 2490.85. The broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index edged up 2.54 points, or 0.2%, to 1185.62. On the New York Stock Exchange more than 1 billion shares exchanged hands as advancing issues beat those that fell in price by a three-to-two ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China’s surprise decision to raise interest rates took a toll on global markets as concerns mounted the move would slow the country’s economy and have a ripple-down effect. With the foreclosure crisis keeping investors on tenterhooks, Beijing’s decision to tighten rates came at a rather inappropriate time. The Dow average dropped below 11,000 for the first time since August. The blue-chip index fell 165 points, or 1.5%, to 10978. The broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index dropped 19 points, 1.6%, to 1165.90. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index, weighed down by Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and IBM (NYSE:IBM), dropped nearly 44 points, or 1.8%, to 2436.95. Declining issues beat those that rose in price by a five-to-one margin. As investors adjusted their risk portfolios, the prices of government bonds rose while the dollar had its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Matthew Weinschenk, Contributing Editor Thursday, October 14, 2010: Issue #1366 Forget the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. While they foretold the end of days, there are five new riders in town, with a new prophecy: There will be no double-dip recession. The market will rally. The economy will recover. The reason for the confidence? These five “horsemen” are riding on the backs of strong quarterly earnings reports. Ones that carry significant meaning for the economy and stock market. Here’s the deal… Five Windows into the Economic World Quarterly earnings season started a week ago – on October 7. During the first week of reports, five very important companies released their numbers: Alcoa, Inc (NYSE: AA), Pepsico, Inc (NYSE: PEP), CSX, Inc. (NYSE: CSX), Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC), and JP ]]></description>
