The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8824 on 12/17/08, as the stock market gave back some of yesterday's gains but closed higher on the day. The Dow Jones Futures were down this morning with profit taking and grim Apple ( AAPL ) news. MacWorld is being cancelled starting in 2010 and Steve Jobs will not be making his keynote speech in the 2009 MacWorld. Wall Street is now pricing into the stock the potential health problems associated with Steve Jobs. There has been some big selling hitting AAPL below $90. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq are having trouble near their resistance levels of 9000 & 1600 respectively but pullbacks near their 50 day moving average continue to be bought. Morgan Stanley MS earnings were in line and that stock was up over 10% today at one point. Goldman Sachs ( GS ) added to the gains yesterday as well. The Solar Stocks were breaking out today, First Solar ( FSLR ) was up over 10%. Energy Conversion Devices ( ENER ) was up big as well. I will have more technical analysis of the markets later tonight.


Todays Biggest Stock Market Gainers : Dynavax ( DVAX ) was the largest gainer today.... after hitting .70 at the open, it was all uphill from there!
