Although the Dow recorded new highs, other benchmarks including S&#38;P 500 and the tech-laden Nasdaq fell slightly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up 1.81 points at 12,041.97, a 30-month fresh high. The S&#38;P 500 lost 0.3% to close at 1,304.03 as 9 out of 10 stocks of the index fell.

		<description><![CDATA[After swinging back and forth for much of the session, stocks closed mostly in the red Wednesday amid concerns that the Fed’s planned purchase of Treasury bonds would not be as heavy and swift as earlier anticipated. Traders are eagerly awaiting a Federal Reserve move to inject more money into the economy by buying bonds. Expectations that the U.S. central bank would soon launch the asset purchases have fueled a rally in stocks. However, market participants are now concerned that the second round of quantitative easing would not be as big as has been expected. Those worries strengthened further after a Wall Street Journal report said yesterday that the Fed would buy no more than $200 billion worth of bonds and the purchases would be spread over several months.

		<description><![CDATA[Productivity increased at a 3.6 percent annual rate during the first quarter of 2010. Output rose 4.4 percent while hours worked rose 0.8 percent on a seasonally adjusted annual-rate basis. Year over year, productivity increased an incredible 6.3% as output increased 3.1 percent, while hours fell 3.0 percent. The year-over-year gain in productivity was the largest since a 7.0% increase in the first quarter of 1962! Since 1948 (when the data starts) the 6.3% level of productivity growth has only been exceeded six times. While the first quarter was a significant slowdown from the fourth quarter productivity pace of 6.3%, and the fourth quarter numbers were revised down from 6.9% growth, they were far higher than consensus expectations of 2.4% growth. These numbers make it extremely likely that the first ]]></description>

Company Description Whirlpool Corp. develops and manufactures home appliances worldwide. The company was founded in 1906 and has a market cap of $6.05 billion. The weak consumer environment hasn&#8217;t stopped shares of WHR from posting big gains in 2009, fueled by the company&#8217;s better than expected Q2 results from early October. Third-Quarter Results Sales were off a bit from last year, down 9% to $2.5 billion, but earnings came in much better than expected at $1.65, 88 cents ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

		<description><![CDATA[The Conference Board’s index of Consumer Confidence increased to 49.5% from a significantly upwardly revised level of 48.7 in October. Originally, the October level was at 47.5%. Consensus expectations were for the consumer confidence level to actually fall to 47.5%. The index saw a big improvement from dismal levels during the spring, but since May consumer confidence has roughly hovered within a few points of 50. All of the improvement came from the expectations component of the consumer confidence index, which rose to 68.5 from 67.0 last month. However, that was because fewer consumers thought things would get worse and would stay unchanged (at a very bad level), rather than due to an increase in those who thought things would actually get better over the next six months. The percentage ]]></description>
