Nov 22-26: Dow Down; Others mixed

European debt still spooking investors

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 112 points this week to finish at 11092, a 1% decline. The NASDAD fared better with a 16-point gain to end at 2536, .65% up since last Friday. Stocks in the 20 Solar Stocks Index (20SSI) just over a point to 393, a 1.62% slip.

Continued worries about European debt fed the downturn on the Dow even after initial Black Friday readings for the beginning of the Holiday shopping season showed promise. After Ireland possibly needing a financial boost, now Spain's debt is looking ominous.

Nov 15-19: Flat Week for Most Indexes

Dow gains 11; NASDAQ, Solar off

It was a week of volatility as U.S. stocks closed nearly flat over five sessions due in part to worries over the rate of Chinese growth and the stability of European economies mounted and ebbed.

MarketWatch reports that concerns gradually eased Friday when China raised its banks’ reserve requirements for the second time in twoweeks. Although markets plunged earlier this week on worries that tighter monetary policy in China could cut demand for U.S. goods and commodities, investors seemed upbeat on Friday that China’s rate of growth would remain strong, even with curbs to check inflation.

Nov 8-12: Dow, NASDAQ, Solar Slip

U.S. stocks drop on China rate fears

The Dow fell over 2.2% this week on worries about the consequences of the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying initiative and renewed concentration on Europe’s sovereign-debt issues, according to MarketWatch's weekly wrap-up. Another concern is that China could take steps to brake its economy’s expansion. Altogether it was a down week for all major indexes.

Nov 1-5: Dow, NASDAQ, Solar Fly

Election week good for markets

Trading on Wall Street got a boost from Tuesday's election, it seems, as the coming GOP House bodes well for America's corporatocracy. Both the Dow and NASDAQ gained nearly 3% to finish today at 11444 and 2579 respectively. The 20 Solar Stocks Index (20SSI) followed suit with a 20-point gain to finish Friday at nearly 434, almost 5% up from last week.
