Todays DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Market Trend: The primary index composites dropped
off in a significant way upon opening bell in the U.S. last session. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average , as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 attempted to
climb out of the hole through the session, but the hole had been dug too deep.

finished on the negative side of break-even for the day. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average closed the day lower by 14.8 points at 12,962.81. The Nasdaq
finished red by 25.7 points and posted end of day close at 2,950.48 and the S&P
500 finished the day lower by 5.3 points at 1,364.33. In general, world stock
market trends were skewed negative last session. The momentum was already moving
in a negative direction prior to opening bell in the U.S. last session. Weaker
than expected economic growth predictions stemmed out of the China market via
Chinas Premier Wen Jiabao. Stocks in Asia closed lower as a result. European
Stocks finished lower on the day as well. Diet and Weight Loss Sector Review:
One sector doing better than the average global trends in the U.S. is the diet
and weight loss sector. NutriSystem Inc (NTRI) and Weight Watchers (WTW) both
finished the opening days session in the green. NutriSystem closed the day
higher by 6.07 percent at 11.88 and Weight Watchers finished the day higher by
.15 percent at 78.15. The diet and Weight loss sector has been trending
positively as of late. Frank Matto
