Dow Jones Open 11/04/08 - Stock Market Report

The Dow Jones and Stock Market opened today 11/04/08 significantly higher then yesterdays close. On the day of the Presidential Election, the Dow Jones opened at 9500, up about 180 points. The S&P 500 was up 20 to 986, and the Nasdaq was up 25 to 1751. Why is the stock market up today? I think it has to do with Libor Rates being down today again today, and that we are just having a relief rally in the stock market. Wall Street hates uncertainty and the market has an Obama victory already priced in. It is looking almost certain that he will win tonight. Here is Art Cashin's views on the stock market and the election.

Biggest Stock Gainers Today - 11/04/08

CIT Group ( CIT ) - CIT is one of the biggest gainers today because the company made a deal with Wells Fargo ( WFC ) where CIT will have a new $500 Million line of credit. This is big news for CIT group!

Stem Cell Stocks: The Stem Cell Stocks, ASTM, STEM, GERN are worth watching today after yesterdays big day. I tlikeSTEM out of the three due to the volume and recent positive news. Stem came out with earnings this morning and reported a better then expected loss per share. A break above $2.28 and the next resistance is $2.53. I only like Stem if it breaks $2.28. Support is still at $2. Watch these levels closely.
