Although trends in the marketplace have been skewing mostly negative, the
primary indices in the U.S. closed out the last session in the green. The Dow
Jones Average finished the session higher by .34 percent at 10,854.65. The
Nasdaq closed out green by .15 percent at 2,345.38 and the S&P 500 finished
higher by just .03 percent at 1,123.82. Little by way of economic news, or
corporate earnings, was scheduled to post during yesterdays trading session and
so it was expected that the market would trend off of momentum and from overseas
cues. The momentum that built last week was negative as the primary indices all
finished last week lower by between 4 and 6 percent. Cues from the European
marketplace were stronger than expected yesterday however and European stocks
finished in positive territory. This action helped to turn stock indices in the
U.S. from red to green and component stocks and funds pushed higher on the day
as well. USAA aggressive growth fund pushed into the green last session. USAUX
closed out higher by .31 percent at 29.12. Previous close for USAUX according to
MSN Money was 29.03. The one month and one year performance for the fund is
still negative at this point. Frank Matto
