Stock Market Overview Today: The primary indices in the U.S. were posting in
the red halfway through the last trading session and by days end, all three
remained in the red across the board. Indices fell lower due, in part, to the
less than stellar jobs picture painted by the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben
Bernanke. Index Close review for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq, and
S&P 500: The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished lower by .41 percent and
closed the day at 12,952.07. The Nasdaq finished the last session lower by .67
percent and closed at 2,966.89. The S&P 500 finished the last session lower by
.47 percent and closed at 1,365.68. Economic Report News Trends Today: Bernanke
said that household income trends were flat. The Feds reported that the economy
is predicted to grow at a rate of about 2.45 percent this year which is about
commensurate with growth during the second half of the last calendar year.
Despite the negative close last session. February ended as a winner overall for
the primary stock index composites in the U.S. Apple Shares Move Higher once
again: Apple APPL is worth more than $500 billion. The companys value is posting
at record levels. It is the worlds most valuable at this point. According to
Yahoo finance, Apple finished the trading day higher by 1.41 percent and closed
with a floor share price at 542.44. Frank Matto
