Stock Market Review Dow 30: Although the primary indices struggled during the
initial half of the last trading session, the DJIA, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 finished
the day in the green across the board. Home based economic reports were weaker
than expected and this pressured investors stock positions during the session,
as well as the primary index composite trends. Ultimately, the DJIA found
positive ground, as did the last-trade close prices for several of the Dows top
winners on the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the session on the
positive side of break-even overall. Officially, the DJIA closed out higher by
.17 percent at 12,471.02. Top Winners for the Dow last trading session: The top
three performers of the DOW 30 last session were Alcoa Inc. AA , Caterpillar
Inc. CAT , and Du Pont DD . Alcoa finished the last session higher by 3.12
percent and posted a last trade floor price of 9.93. Caterpillar Inc. finished
the last session higher by 2.31 percent and posted a last trade floor price of
101.94. Du Pont finished the last trading session higher by 1.69 percent and
posted a final trade price at 48.10. Dow 30 Loser last session: Chevron Corp was
the top loser on the day for the Dow 30. Chevron Corp. CVX finished the last
trading session lower by 2.60 percent and posted a final trade price at 104.97.
