		<description><![CDATA[Markets suffered a heavy fall yesterday as political uncertainty in Europe continued and China’s economic health looked gloomier than previously perceived. Financial bellwether JPMorgan’s disclosure that it had suffered a $2 billion trading loss remained an overhang on the markets and dragged down financials once again. As the benchmarks finished in the red, S&#38;P 500 recorded its lowest level since February. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) inched down 1% to close at 12,695.35. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) lost 1.1% and finished yesterday’s trading session at 1,338.35. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index slumped 1.1% and ended at 2,902.58. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped almost 10% to settle significantly higher at 21.87. Consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and the American Stock Exchange ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A day after the benchmarks had their best run in nearly a month, insipid results from two tech-bellwethers and European economic concerns dragged the markets lower on Wednesday. Incidentally, benchmarks’ robust performance on Tuesday was largely boosted by the same fronts, except that corporate results came in strong and Europe had positive news to share about. Unfortunately, IBM and Intel’s results failed to lift investors’ sentiment yesterday, and bad loans of Spanish banks reached to the highest level since 1994. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) slumped 0.6% to close at 13,032.75. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 0.4% and finished yesterday’s trading session at 1,385.14.

		<description><![CDATA[Fears of a global financial slowdown, sparked off by worrying news from Europe and China, battered the markets down on Friday resulting in the benchmarks’ worst week this year. None of the 10 industry groups of S&#38;P 500 could muster a finish in the green, and the index suffered its first set of consecutive declines since November last year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) plunged 1.2% to settle at 12,849.59. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) slumped 1.3% to finish Friday’s trading session at 1,370.26. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index crashed to 3,011.33, after losing 1.5%. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) soared 13.7% to close at 19.55.

		<description><![CDATA[On a day devoid of major economic events, tepid housing data could do little to bolster the markets and benchmarks ended the day just slightly higher. It was yet another choppy trading session for the benchmarks, which started on a low note and recovered after Apple announced a dividend payout and share buyback. By the closing bell, benchmarks had lost some ground and dropped from the day’s highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) edged up 0.05% and closed the day at 13,239.13. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed yesterday’s trading session 0.4% higher at 1,409.75. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.8% and settled at 3,078.32.

On the third anniversary of the stocks’ lowest point during the Great recession, investors drew optimism from reports of an improving economy. However, benchmarks came down from morning highs as a concerns over “credit event” in Greece somewhat weighed on sentiments. Alongside, the week saw the benchmarks’ worst fall of 2012, but that did not stop the majority of benchmarks from closing in the green. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) ended 0.1% higher at 12,922.02. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up to 1,370.87, registering gains of 0.4%.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets struggled for direction on Friday with few inputs from the news desk, but the prospect of a Greek deal next week enabled benchmarks to extend their gains to the highest levels this year. Cross-Atlantic developments had guided the markets on most of the days the week, while robust economic data single-handedly boosted the markets on Thursday. Thus, it was another week of strong gains for the benchmarks, and the Dow was just marginally short of the 13, 000 mark. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.4% to close the day at 12,949.87. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) edged up 0.2% to close marginally higher at 1,361.23. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was the only one to miss out; dropping 0.4% to close Friday’s trading ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the European leaders urged Greece to adhere to new austerity measures in order to receive the next installment of its bailout package, debt woes returned to the forefront and US markets dropped a few points. Even though markets receded from t multi-year highs, benchmarks recouped most of their losses by the end of the day and settled marginally lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.1% to finish the day at 12,845.13. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) edged down 0.04% and signed off yesterday’s trading session virtually unchanged at 1,344.33.

		<description><![CDATA[Strong corporate earnings results and a positive jobless claims report helped carry the markets forward on Thursday. 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. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) reflected the investors’ confidence, declining 4.9% to 19.87.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets edged lower once again, bogged down by cross-Atlantic concerns as several euro-zone countries looked likely to suffer credit-rating downgrades. 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. The Nasdaq Composite Index slipped 0.5% and finished at 2,710.67. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) moved up by 2.2% and settled at 20.91. Nonetheless, the fear-gauge index is still well below the key level of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investors received a pre-Christmas gift in the form of encouraging economic data, which led the benchmarks higher on Thursday. The Dow and S&#38;P 500 registered their third-straight finish in the green, but trading volumes continued to be on the low side. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up 0.5% and ended the day at 12,169.65. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 0.8% and closed yesterday’s trading session at 1,254. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index finished trading at 2,599.45, after edging up 0.8%. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped 1.3% and settled at 21.16. Fortunately, the fear-gauge index has dropped to its lowest levels in many months, in an economic scenario that is highly uncertain and weighed down by lingering European debt woes.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets reversed gears on Monday and receded into negative territory after the European accord concluded on last Friday faced criticism from Fitch Ratings and Moody&#8217;s Investors Service. Tech-giant Intel also contributed to weak investor confidence after the company projected revenues lower than its earlier projections. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 1.3% to close the day at 12,021.39. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) slumped 1.5% to finish the day’s trading at 1,236.47. The Nasdaq Composite Index settled substantively lower at 2,612.26, declining by 1.3%. However, the fear-gauge Volatility Index (VIX) showed that investor concerns had receded somewhat, dropping 2.7% to settle at 25.67. Decliners outpaced advancing stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For 77% of the decliners, merely 20% stocks managed to climb higher with ]]></description>

Thus, the markets elongated its weekly gains to the second-straight week and the S&#38;P 500 recorded its longest stretch of weekly gains since October. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 186 points or 1.6% to settle at 12,184.26. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) surged 1.7% and finished the day at 1,255.19. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed substantively higher at 2,646.85, after jumping 1.9%. While investors felt largely comfortable over the European developments, the fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) plunged almost 14% to close the day 26. 83.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets slipped modestly lower on Friday after the downgrade of Italy and Spain’s debt ratings overshadowed encouraging nonfarm payroll data. The Dow snapped its three-day winning streak, but the benchmarks ended with gains for the week spurred on by hopes of a resolution to the European debt crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lost 0.2% to settle at 11,103.12. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down to 1,155.46, shedding 0.8% and the Nasdaq Composite Index inched down 1.1% to finish the day at 2,479.35. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped marginally and hovered over 36.

		<description><![CDATA[Optimism about a possible resolution to the Greek-debt crisis provided a much needed boost to the markets, which logged their third-straight day of gains. But sell-offs in the final hours sparked by media reports of a split in euro-zone curbed the gains partially. However, the final hour slip was not sufficient to prevent a three-digit gain for the Dow and the S&#38;P 500’s biggest three-day percentage gain since mid-August. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 146 points or 1.3% to finish the day at 11,190.69. With all of the 10 industrial groups gaining in the Standard &#38; Poor 500, the index ended at 1,175.38, gaining 1.1%. The S&#38;P 500 has now risen by more than 4% since the closing bell on Thursday and this is the index’ biggest three-day ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hopes of a likely resolution to the lingering European debt crunch steered the benchmarks into positive territory with the Dow logging its best percentage gain in almost a month. Reports of a plan to leverage money from the European Financial Stability Facility paved the way for the markets’ upswing bringing relief to investors after almost a week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) returned to its winning ways, registering a triple-digit movement and soaring 2.5% to settle at 11,043.86. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 2.3% to close the day at 1,162.95. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index moved up 1.4% and signed off at 2,516.69.

		<description><![CDATA[Coordinated action between the European Central Bank and international money lenders eased concerns about the European debt situation, egging on the markets to their fourth-straight day of gains. With investors placing greater emphasis on news from across the Atlantic, disappointing US jobs data failed to hurt the benchmarks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 186 points or 1.7% to finish the day at 11,433.18. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 1.7% to settle at 1,209.11. The Nasdaq Composite Index moved up 1.3% to close the day at 2,607.07. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) slid substantively to less than 32. The fear-gauge index looks en route to drop below the technical-level of 30. The VIX had even recorded its sharpest increase since February 2007 after S&#38;P’s downgrade ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wall Street’s volatile run continued on Thursday as encouraging economic data eroded fears of a possible recession at least for the moment, and the markets moved upwards. The Dow created history with its largest one-day percentage moves over the past four sessions, as it went up 423 points just a day after it was down more than 500 points. While a positive jobs report gave an additional boost to sentiment, Cisco also joined the party with its robust quarterly results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) soared 3.9% to close the day at 11,143.31. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) jumped 4.6% to close at 1,172.64 and the Nasdaq Composite Index shot up 4.7% to finish the day at 2,492.68. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index sank 9.3%.

		<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[Markets moved up modestly, boosted by transportation shares on Wednesday, but concerns emanating from economic data and Portugal’s downgrade kept gains in check. Additionally, investors refrained from betting big bucks as they await significant reports this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.5% to settle at 12,626.02. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up 0.1% to finish the day at 1,339.22. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,834.02, after gaining 0.3%. Investors continued to adopt a wait-and-watch attitude as trading volumes remained significantly low. On the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), AMEX and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 5.98 billion, compared to last year&#8217;s daily average of 8.47 billion shares. On the NYSE, the mood was dominated by the advancers as for every eight stocks that gained, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the indices posted their best weekly performance in two years, euro-zone debt fears gripped the markets yet again to dampen investor sentiment on Tuesday after Moody’s downgraded Portugal’s debt rating to “junk”. The benchmarks ended their five-day winning streak, beginning the month of July on a low note. Investors refrained from betting big ahead of a row of economic reports scheduled for release this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 0.1% and finished the day at 12,569.87. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed down 0.1% at 1,337.88. However, news from Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) boosted the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index by 0.4% and it settled at 2,825.77. On the New York Stock Exchange, trading volumes remained tight at 3.3 billion shares and the advance decline ratio ]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, investors enjoyed some cheer as the markets broke their six-day losing streak buoyed by positive data on export levels and a shrinking trade deficit. While this report provided optimism about a recovery in the economy, job data once again failed to suggest any improvement. Additionally, experts opine that this is a short-lived technical bounce back and expect the S&#38;P 500 to trace back to its March low of 1,250. The markets finally found a place in the positive zone after ending in the red for six consecutive days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) climbed up 0.6% to settle at 12,124.36. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.7% and finished the day at 1,289.00. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,684.87, after jumping 0.4%. The fear ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investor sentiment continued to remain bearish for the fourth straight trading day on Monday, as weak economic data dragged the indices to hit 2.5 months lows. Financials, energy and airline stocks dropped modest points and benchmarks may record their longest losing streak since 2002 if indices close in the red for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) declined 0.5% to settle at 12,089.96. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 shed 1.1% to close at 1,286.17. After losing 479.83 points over the last four trading days, the Dow has now posted its biggest four-day drop since May 2010. Meanwhile, the S&#38;P 500 closed below the 1,300 level for the first time since March 23, 2011. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 1.1% to finish the day at 2,702.56. On the New ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After four consecutive weeks of losses, investor hopes were dashed once again this week as weak economic data dragged the indices down to their fifth straight week of losses. On Friday, weak jobs data from the Labor department ensured that indices remained in the red, reflecting a slowing economic recovery. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 0.8% to settle at 12,151.26. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed a little less than 1.0% to close at 1,300.16. The Nasdaq Composite Index finished the day at 2,732.78, after shedding 1.5%.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets came to a halt after a positive run for four consecutive trading days as weak economic data and a downgrade of Greece’s credit rating dampened investor sentiment on the opening day of the month. Benchmarks also suffered their worst drop since August 11, 2010 amidst slowing job growth, declining manufacturing activity and incremental euro-zone debt worries. The markets had registered their fourth consecutive week of losses last week, the first time since February 2010, and it is likely that the losing streak might be heading into its fifth week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved down 2.2% to close at 12,290.37. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) ended at 1,314.54, after losing 2.3%. The Nasdaq Composite Index plunged 2.3% to settle at 2,769.19. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Risky assets last week again marched higher to the tune of economic data supporting the argument of a global economic recovery. A realization among investors that the economic transition from recession to recovery was gaining momentum resulted in many global stock markets and commodities scaling fresh peaks for the year. Source: Steve Breen The S&#38;P 500 Index closed the week above the psychological 1,000 level, marking its highest level since November and capping four consecutive weeks of gains. And more upside lies ahead, said Abby Joseph Cohen, Goldman Sachs’ market strategist, who expects the Index to reach the 1,100 point by year end. (Is this a contrary indicator coming from a permabull?) Many commodities such as crude oil, copper, aluminum, nickel, lead and zinc hit their highest levels of the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the definitions of “stress” offered by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is “bodily or mental tension resulting from factors that tend to alter an existent equilibrium”. Well, any bodily or mental tension investors might have been suffering from as a result of financial factors were shrugged off on Thursday with the announcement by US regulators that ten of the nation’s largest banks had to add a total of “only” $74.6 billion in equity following the completion of stress tests. However, whether this will indeed restore the equilibrium remains to be seen.

		<description><![CDATA[Global stock markets surged over the past four days as investors adopted a more positive view of the prospects for the beleaguered financial sector and shrugged aside gloom about the economy. Citigroup (C) on Tuesday said it had turned a profit from operations for January and February (BUT did not mention credit losses, toxic paper, derivatives, etc.). JPMorgan (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) later made similar comments. A positive shift in investor sentiment, together with the possibility of the suspension of mark-to-market accounting and the reinstitution of the uptick rule, resulted in the best week for equities since November. Arriving in time for my 54th birthday today, the reversal of fortune is illustrated by the strong gains of the MSCI World Index (+9.8%) and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stock Profits from Today’s “Maximum Pessimism” by Louis Basenese, Advisory Panelist Senior Analyst, The Oxford Club Wednesday, January 21, 2009: Issue #919 Yesterday was a train wreck for State Street Corp. (NYSE: STT). The stock cratered 59%. But don’t read too much into it… Sure, the company’s quarterly results sent most investors into shock. A 71% drop in earnings? Another $1 billion in new credit exposures? If no one’s lending, how in the world are they just now discovering this liability? I’ll be the first to confess, I flubbed the extent of the downturn in the financial space. Last April, I recommended “backing up the truck” and playing the rebound via the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (AMEX: XLF).
