Today was a surprise considering the news. There was not great economic news to hang on, particularly considering that the 10.2% unemployment was the worst reading since 1983. As the market did not crater and as it went positive throughout the day, it almost felt as though the 10.2% of the officially unemployed don't matter to the economy as everyone keeps noting the 'lagging indicator' effect. Still, stocks held their own for most of the day and where the real direction for the end of the day bells felt uncertain until the end of the day.

Here are today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 10,023.19 +17.23 (0.17%)
S&P 500 1,069.30 +2.67 (0.25%)
Nasdaq 2,112.44 +7.12 (0.34%)

And the FOMC made the pledge to keep rates low for extended periods.

There was also a mixed picture on ADP and Challenger jobs data ahead of tomorrow's weekly jobless claims and ahead of Friday's key unemployment data. Gold continued its run along with higher oil on weekly inventory data.

Maybe it was the dollar rising earlier, maybe it was poor housing data from a drop in new home sales. Maybe they wanted more than a marginally positive durable goods reading. Maybe it was that oil inventory is back up. And then there is the notion that stocks have just gotten too far ahead of themselves and there were reports of a large strategist cutting GDP targets. But investors sold religiously today ahead of tomorrow's GDP figure.

Today was potentially a pivotal day. There was a technician calling for a possible peak in the S&P and that was partly on yesterday's dollar strength.

Markets rose substantially at the end of the day, in part led by the strong earnings reports from 5 of 30 DJIA components this morning alone. This was despite the discussions of the risks of the US's Triple-A rating, another drop in home prices, and despite weekly jobless claims heading higher.

Today was one of those days where it felt like it would be an up-day and most traders were feeling good, but the last hour's trading came down so far so fast that traders had little feel whether we'd have an up or down session until right before the closing bell.

Oil inventories were not a huge surprise like the week before, but the data sent oil much higher and then a weak US dollar only added to oil price gains. Some may use the Beige Book as the reason for the sell-off, but it might be how little the government expects Wall Street executives to work for if they are a TARP bank.

Despite some very tame inflation reports, the housing data was deemed as a disappointment. Investors used today's early strength to sell stocks to lock in profits or to take at least some money off the table. Of the five DJIA components which reported earnings, the pre-earnings gains were astounding on most of them.

Despite a cautious report from home builders and despite a low volume day, today marked a clear win for the S&P 5000 and for the DJIA. The S&P broke through 1,100 and the DJIA broke through 11,000. We also had two mergers this morning, and while small they are signs that companies are willing to merge once more.

Today's earnings were deemed a disappointment despite some bottom-line comfort here. A weaker University of Michigan Consumer Survey report kept the DJIA muted, and whether we'd close above or under the 10,000 mark was something that wasn't known until the final hour of trading.

There was tame inflation and a better jobs report, but oil went through the roof as there was a big draw down in gasoline inventory and weak refinery trends. The earnings reports are now coming on in full force.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 10,062.94 +47.08 (0.47%)
S&P 500 1,096.56 +4.54 (0.42%)
Nasdaq 2,173.29 +1.06 (0.05%)

Today could have been a day to look out for more economic numbers, yet all that mattered was that the DJIA hit 10,000. To put this into context, the first time that the DJIA hit 10,000 was back all the way in 1999...

Today was another trading day bare of major economic data. Shares were all over the place today with the indexes not giving any clear direction at any point of the day. It was not until right before the close that you had a real feel for whether we would close up or down today.

Here are the unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 9,874.31 -11.49 (-0.12%)
S&P 500 1,073.56 -2.63 (-0.24%)
Nasdaq 2,140.22 +1.08 (0.05%)

There were gains most of the day ahead of earnings season, but we came down substantially off the highs. It still feels like the DJIA will crack 10,000, but the trading is getting choppy as we enter what may be the biggest earnings season in a couple years for growth investors.

Here are today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 9,885.80 +20.86 (0.21%)
S&P 500 1,076.18 +4.69 (0.44%)
