Closing Bell: A Fifth Straight Win, but Sloppy (AA, BP, HEW, AON, SNDK, WMT, WY)

Today was a strange day in the market, with EU markets mixed and an overall mixed bias being present all day ahead of earnings season. A Fed official noted that rates were appropriate on the same day that Ben Bernanke was out discussing the lack of credit available at small businesses. Despite today's win looking more like a tie or surrender, we have now been up 5 days in a row.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 10,216.27 +18.24 (0.18%)
S&P 500 1,078.75 +0.79 (0.07%)
Nasdaq 2,198.36 +1.91 (0.09%)
