Ben Bernanke talked down the economy and talked down inflation, making Wall Street push out the chances of a rate hike further and further out. Oil fell over $3.00 as US-Russian tensions are at least a tad less and after the US Dollar gained ground today. Today's unofficial closing bell levels are as follows:</p>
<p><br />DJIA   11,619.35   +1.65%<br />S&amp;P500   1,292.05   +1.12%<br />NASDAQ  2,424.71  +1.44%<br />10YR T-Note  3.867%  +.029<br /><a href="http://www.247wallst.com/2008/08/the-52-week--12.html">52-Week Low Club<br />Top analyst upgrades</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.247wallst.com/2008/08/top-pre-mark-17.html">Top analyst downgrades</a><br /></p>
<p><a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/akamai-technologies-inc/akam/nas">Akamai Technologies Inc</a>. (NASDAQ: AKAM) was a very unusual stock today. We saw <a href="http://www.vsinvestor.com/2008/08/major-options-spike-akamai-tech-akam.html">major call option trading</a> activity in the stock, making some wonder if this stock was in play. Shares were up in today's final minutes.</p>
