Stocks tried to open positive today but geopolitics and oil kept things from being a solid win throughout the trading day. Oil's gain is spiking gasoline higher in local markets and soft commodities took a breather. Weekly jobless claims went back under the 400,000 mark again despite dollar weakness, but new home sales were down by the double-digits again.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow Jones 12,068.50 -37.28 (-0.31%)

Shares of Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) were running smoothly this afternoon. At the time of this writing, they were up 3.3% to $87.96. That wasn't too far away from the new 52-week high of $89.31 that was set earlier in the session.

Driving the move was a third-quarter earnings report. According to the Associated Press, net income declined by 39%. While that may not be something investors would want to buy, here's the part of the story that they apparently are giving a bid: management increased its outlook for the full-year profit, expecting it to come in at around $6 billion instead of $4.3 billion.

Toyota (TM) signJapanese automaker Toyota (TM) announced that it has agreed to pay a record $32.4 million in further fines to the U.S. government to settle an investigation into the way it handled recent recalls.

The company's board of directors agreed to the fines Monday at its board meeting in Japan, and it will not admit to any violations of U.S. laws. Unfortunately for Toyota, this move will not exempt the company from potential civil and criminal penalties in private lawsuits and other federal investigations.

Fiat logoSergio Marchionne, CEO of Chrysler, said that Chrysler plans to introduce a Fiat in the U.S. powered by natural gas. Bloomberg/Businessweek quotes Marchionne: "Natural gas engines offer a better way to cut emissions because they are cheaper than competing technologies."

Fiat is the leader in Europe in natural gas engines with 80% share of methane powered cars and 55% of light commercial vehicles. Alfredo Altavilla, quoted in Bloomberg/Businessweek said natural gas is a "more affordable solution" as it is less expensive to produce transport and distribute compared with other fuel sources.

earnings expectationsIt will be a busy week. Republicans are poised to gain control of the House of Representatives and gain governorships in Tuesday's mid-term elections. Also, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce another round of quantitative easing Wednesday, following the FOMC meeting. Major retailers are scheduled to report October same-store sales Thursday, while the October unemployment rate, announced on Friday, is expected to remain at 9.6%.

Toyota's (TM) fiscal second-quarter results will be one of the highlights on the earnings front this week. After three periods of way underestimating Toyota's earnings, have the analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters got it right this time? The stock sure could use a boost. Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) is in a similar situation; i.e., high expectations for this week's quarterly results but a stock in need of a boost. Marathon (MRO) and Starbucks (SBUX) are also expected to post strong earnings growth this week, but both stocks are riding high.

Toyota recalls more carsToyota (TM) is going to recall 412,000 cars in the U.S. to fix steering problems, according to Reuters. The report notes that 373,000 of the automobiles are Avalon sedans from the 2000 through 2004 model years and 39,000 are LX470 SUVs from model years 2003 through 2007. The automaker announced that the steering lock bar in the Avalon could break "under certain conditions," while the LX470s are being recalled to "eliminate the risk of steering shaft disengagement."

The company said that it has received three accident reports involving the Avalon and none involving the LX470. Nevertheless, the automaker is trying to fix these problems, which are the latest in a series of recalls this year.

Toyota Sequoia Safety RecallToyota Motor (TM) was back in the news Wednesday with additional recalls. This time the recall involves its Sequoia sports utility vehicle due to concerns regarding the stability control on the 2003 model year. This is the second time this month that the company has recalled some of its SUVs.

The back's stability control system is supposed to correct a loss of traction in the front or rear tires when the SUV enters a corner. There have been reports that the system activated when the vehicle was moving at slow speed and resulted in drivers not being able to accelerate, and in some cases the brakes coming on and slowing the SUV down unexpectedly.

Then there are dividend stocks with great upside potential for the shares.

But sometimes investors don't put enough thought into when to sell dividend stocks. Here are some tips to help you pull the trigger:

Toyota announced today that in light of the concerns over the Lexus SUV it would be running safety tests on all of its SUVs to reassure Toyota drivers that their vehicles are indeed safe.

The concern comes from tests that Consumer Reports ran on the Lexus GX 460 that showed the SUV was a rollover risk. The electronic stabilizer that was supposed to correct the SUV from spinning out was not kicking in as quickly as it should be.

There was plenty of good news today, but the market barely kept its head above water. After a promising start, most of the indexes closed near the flat line. Most of the economic data was good. The ISM hit a six year high of 59.6% and weekly jobless claims fell by 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 435,000.

Those two pieces of news were offset by an announcement from Challenger Gray that its research showed March job cuts. Inflation also began to be a bother, at least on paper. The ISM data showed higher prices where paid for raw goods bought by most manufacturers. Oil moved to $85.

Today's unofficial closing numbers:

The damage that Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Company (TM) is sustaining is sizable. Once a bastion of reliability and trustworthiness in the auto industry, the perception has swung rapidly the other way in just the past six months.

Indeed, the footage showing Toyota vehicles apparently racing down highways with little control happening from behind the wheel are powerful -- more powerful than Toyota's meager "We thank you" advertising campaign. Which automaker is taking advantage of this situation by proxy? Why, Ford Motor Company (F) of course.

Toyota believes ABC used footage that created "the false and misleading impression with viewers of a dangerous and uncontrolled acceleration" when dealing with a Toyota Avalon sedan. According to the article, Toyota contends that "ABC News chose fear-mongering over public service." ABC stated that it has received the letter and that its lawyers are reviewing it and preparing a response.
