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.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 9,996.21 -66.73 (-0.66%)
S&P 500 1,087.71 -8.85 (-0.81%)
Nasdaq 2,156.80 -16.49 (-0.76%)

The jobs data was so wide apart, that it just trough everyone for a big loop. With 9.4% unemployment rather than 9.2% and with non-farm payrolls contracting at -345,000 rather than by more than -500,00, traders had trouble on and off all day long. The BLS even denied rumors that there were errors.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 8,763.29 +13.05 (0.15%)
S&P 500 940.10 -2.36 (-0.25%)
Nasdaq 1,849.42 -0.60 (-0.03%)
