The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 7837 on 4/8/09, as the stock market was up today after the 2pm Fed minutes were released and the fact that the financials were weak once again. The day started with home builder Pulte Homes ( PHM ) purchasing Centex ( CTX ) for 1.3 billion. The Dow Jones Futures were down as much as 100 but when the above news was announced, went back to near positive territory. The Dow Jones was up as much as 70 points but then lost ground as Citigroup ( C ) and Bank of America ( BAC ) became weak. There was a rumor out that B of A CEO Ken Lewis will be replaced. Ken Lewis was just on CNBC telling us how everything was so great and now I'm wondering if he was just trying to save his job. If everything was getting better his job wouldn't be in jeopardy. Time will tell!

Tomorrow will be the last trading day of the week as the markets will be closed on Friday. Look for very low stock market volume tomorrow. Check out my stocks to watch report for Thursday. I will have full technical analysis of the stock market tonight - Right Here
