The Dow Jones, as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500, finished the last trading session of the 2011 calendar year on the negative side of break-even. Officially, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the last trading session negative by .57 percent, or minus 69.48, to close out at 12,217.56. The Nasdaq finished the last session red by .33 percent, negative 8.59, to close out at 2,605.15. The S&P 500 finished off negative by .43 percent , minus 5.42, to close out at 1,257.60. Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Year Review: The primary stock indices in the U.S. finished off the 2011 calendar year mixed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed out the year on the plus side by 5.5 percent. The Nasdaq finished off the year on the negative side of break-even by about 1.8 percent and the S&P 500 trend-line was relatively flat and ended the year negative by only four hundredths of a point. 2011 was a tumultuous year for the U.S. marketplace, and also the global marketplace. Although investors are happy to close the books on 2011, 2012 trends will continue to feel pressure stemming, in part, from the ongoing eurozone debt crisis. Investors will stay focused to observe news relevant to the debt resolution action plan in Europe. Relevant news will be a primary influence on market trends as the new year opens. Frank Matto
