On an otherwise lackluster day, the S&#38;P 500 touched a five-month high as investors awaited results from Google. However, post the closing bells, Google’s results were big a disappointment. Benchmarks continued to hover around five-month high levels and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.4% and moved up to 12,623.98. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) added 0.5% and finished the day at 1,314.50. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.7% and closed yesterday’s trading session at 2,788.33.

Things were also farm from cheerful on the domestic front after banking major J.P. Morgan Chase dampened sentiment with its quarterly results. These concerns mingled to partially erode weekly gains, but benchmarks were eventually able to hold on to gains for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) shed 0.4% to end the day at 12,422.06. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 0.5% and closed Friday’s trading session at 1,289.09.

		<description><![CDATA[European debt concerns once again weighed down the markets and dragged the Dow slightly lower, while the S&#38;P 500 and Nasdaq posted meager gains. Reports of Germany’s economy contracting during the end of 2011 and a downward revision of economic growth estimates by the European Union (EU) dented the markets. However, a late upward swing helped the markets extend their stay around five-month high levels. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.1% to settle at 12,449.45. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) edged up by a mere 0.03% to finish yesterday’s trading session at 1,292.48. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.3% to close at 2,710.76.

The central bank also cautioned that the global financial scenario poses a serious threat for the domestic economy. Additionally, with the pre-holiday rush supposedly setting in, a less than expected increase in retail sales acted as a deterrent to optimism among investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) declined 0.6% to finish the day at 11,954.94. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 0.9% and closed the day at 1,225.73. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index settled at 2,579.27, sliding 1.3% lower.

		<description><![CDATA[by Carl Delfeld, Investment U Senior Analyst Thursday, November 17, 2011 I’ll never forget my first visit as a teenager to the commodity-trading pit of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The swirling bright colored jackets, the shouting and rapid hand signals (looked like arm wrestling to me) were captivating and reminded me of past family gatherings. It was also the polar opposite of my later visit to the currency trading floor of JP Morgan at 1 Wall Street – row after row of white shirts hunched over computer screens and dry IMF statistics. Commodities sure looked like more fun to me. My image of commodity markets hasn’t changed all that much since. It’s a volatile and wild ride where even a tiny bit of new information affecting supply or demand ]]></description>

The industry is oligarchic in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion&#8217;s share of the output.

		<description><![CDATA[The benchmarks’ three-day rally hit a roadblock as the lack of conviction among investors about European leaders finding a solution to the region’s debt crisis on Wednesday’s summit and disappointing domestic corporate earnings weighed down the markets. 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. However, on a day of sharp declines, the markets continued the trend of low ]]></description>

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fluctuated between small gains and losses to finally end at 11,416.3, dropping roughly 0.2%.

Commodity shares dragged down indices as energy and raw materials lost their sheen after a steep drop in their prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 1.6% to settle at 11,010.90. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 2.1% and finished the day at 1,151.06. The Nasdaq Composite Index slid 2.2% and closed at 2,491.58. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped to hover above 41. On the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were roughly 7.96 billion shares, which was in line with this year&#8217;s average.

While the fear-gauge soared 12% and the sell-off entered into its fourth-straight day, the Dow had slumped by as much as 527 points at one point during the trading session. 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%.

Concerns from Europe overshadowed President Barack Obama’s $447 billion stimulus program as investors remained skeptical about his administration’s ability to actually rescue the flagging economy. 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. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 2.4% and finished the day at 2,467.99. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) soared 12%, reflecting heightened fear among investors.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) inched down by a percent to settle at 11,493.57. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) dropped 1.2% to finish the day at 1,204.42. The Nasdaq Composite Index slipped 1.3% and ended the day at 2,546.04. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) traded roughly at 32. On the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 7.49 billion shares, down from last year&#8217;s daily average of 8.47 billion. On the NYSE, for every four stocks that gained, eleven stocks moved lower. ]]></description>

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.

		<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[Standard &#38; Poor’s downgraded the US credit rating by a notch, delivering a crushing blow to benchmarks on Monday. Tension from the other side of the Atlantic also dampened sentiment as Europe was gripped by debt woes. Investors also struggled to find a clear answer about whether the recent turmoil means that another recession is in the offing, at a time when the economy is yet to recover from the last one. The credit rating agency’s decision came in on Friday last week after the closing bells. Monday was thus the first trading day after the downgrade, and almost immediately benchmarks ended up in the red. This is the first time that the US has lost its AAA rating since 1917. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) posted its sixth-worst ]]></description>

		<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>

Benchmarks continued to slide for the second consecutive day in the absence of strong economic reports or encouraging earnings results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 0.7% to settle at 12,501.30. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed at 1,331.94, after shedding 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 0.1% to finish the day at 2,839.96. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped 4.6% and traded over 20.

		<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[A lower-than-expected increase in non-farm payrolls dragged the markets lower on Friday, but gains made earlier during the week ensured a finish in the green for the benchmarks. The report comes at a time when investor confidence in the economic recovery was beginning to grow. Investor sentiment now clearly depends on the earnings season that will unofficially kick-off next Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 0.5% to settle at 12,657.20. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) finished at 1,343.80, dropping 0.7%. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 0.5% to close at 2,859.81.

		<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[Earnings season will soon be upon us again. What the market will be looking for are those companies that come in with higher-than-expected earnings to reward, and for those firms that disappoint to punish. However, there will be cases where one company beats by a small amount, say $0.05 or 2.5%, and there is a big jump in the price of a stock in reaction, but on the same day there might be another firm that beats by $0.10 or 10%, and it is treated as a relative non-event by the market. Why is that? Well, too much of the emphasis will be one-dimensional &#8212; by what percentage or dollar amount did the actual result come in above or below the estimate? The significance of a percentage beat also varies ]]></description>

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[Overview The Metals &#38; Mining industry encompasses the extraction (mining) as well as the primary and secondary processing of metals and minerals such as aluminum, gold, precious metals, coal and steel. The industry is oligarchic in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of the output. The largest segment of the global metals market is iron and steel followed by aluminum. The iron and steel segment comprises more than half the industry in terms of volume. This industry includes metal ore exploration and mining services, as well as iron and steel foundries for smelting, rolling, forging, spinning, recycling, stamping, polishing and plating of iron and steel products, such as pipes, tubes, wire, spring, rolls and bars.

		<description><![CDATA[BHP Billiton Limited (BHP) has approved another investment of $488 million to support the development of the Jansen Potash Project in Saskatchewan, Canada. The funding will help in supporting the project’s feasibility study related to preparation and procurement of long lead time items. This investment raises BHP Billiton’s contribution in Jansen to $1.2 billion. The total funding toward Saskatchewan thereby rose to almost $2 billion, indicating the company’s potash business development intentions in the province. The project is designed to produce approximately 8 million tons per annum of agricultural grade potash with an estimated mine life of around 70 years. The funding will now enable BHP Billiton to develop the first 382.8 yards of the production and service shafts, on receipt of necessary Government approvals on environment issues. In February ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Except the Nasdaq, all the benchmarks closed higher on Thursday as investor sentiment was somewhat lifted by economic reports. However, concerns about Greece’s debt situation kept gains in check. The gains made during a volatile trading session were also attributable to the technical fundamentals of quadruple witching. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.5% to close at 11,961.52. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed at 1,267.64, after climbing 0.2%. However, the Nasdaq Composite Index failed to follow the winning path of fellow benchmarks and declined 0.3% to 2,623.70. On the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX and Nasdaq consolidated volumes were 7.78 billion shares, up from the daily average of 7.58 billion. On the NYSE, the decline-advance ratio was 1,660 to 1,355.

		<description><![CDATA[Disappointing economic data combined with concerns over Greece to drag the markets lower yet again, on Wednesday. This development significantly diminishes the possibility of benchmarks avoiding their seventh straight week of losses. Financials, materials and energy dragged the indices lower while S&#38;P 500 drags closer to dropping below its March low of 1,250. The losses on Wednesday nearly washed out the gains of the previous day and investors’ fears of the benchmarks posting their losses for seven consecutive weeks for the first time in ten years resurfaced yet again. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) receded below the psychological level of 12,000 as it shed 1.5% to settle at 11,897.27. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined 1.7% and the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 1.8% to finish the day ]]></description>

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.

		<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.

		<description><![CDATA[Just when investors had grown despondent, indices snapped their four-day losing streak on Friday, as the biggest employment addition in five years lifted markets into the green. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and Standard &#38; Poor climbed 0.4% to settle at 12,638.74 and 1,340.20, respectively. The Nasdaq was up 0.5% and finished the day at 2,827.56. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index rose above 18. On the New York Stock Exchange trading volumes were 4.4 billion shares and for every couple of shares that rose, one was on the declining side. However, due to the heavy beating that the markets suffered on the previous four days of the week, the three major indices ended the week down more than a percent. The Dow was down 1.3%, the S&#38;P 500 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets suffered their biggest fall of the month as Standard &#38; Poor downgraded long-term US sovereign debt rating to “negative” based on the country’s incremental budget deficit. European sovereign debt worries and China’s move to increase bank’s reserve ratio requirements added to the gloom. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) slipped 1.14% to 12,201.59. During the day, the Standard &#38; Poor’s 500 Index had plunged below 1,300 for the first time since March 24 but rebounded to close at 1,305.14, shedding 1.10%. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 1.06% to close at 2,735.38. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) increased 10.7% and posted its highest daily percentage increase since February 22, 2011.

		<description><![CDATA[While the first quarter earnings season “officially” kicked off last week when Alcoa (AA) reported, it was a slow start. We have just 32 (6.4%) first quarter reports in. 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.
