Market Wrap-Up for Oct.26 (MSFT, RSH, BAC, STT, AU, more)
October 26th, 2009

It was an odd day of action for the markets with a big spike after the first hour, followed by an even bigger drop as we got closer to midday. Some of the reasons for the drop have varied, from a stronger dollar to inflation in China.
We had some bright spots that stuck out on the upside. Radio Shack (RSH



) was an earnings winner and the stock rallied. Positive Wall Street commentary alsp helped boost shares of Bucyrus International (BUCY



) and Microsoft (MSFT



).
Leading the action lower were names like Monsanto (MON



), U.S. Bancorp (USB



), State Street (STT



), AngloGold (AU



), Bank of America (BAC



) and Agrium (AGU



). Gold (GLD), Oil (USO), and Treasuries (TLT) were losers as well. We are monitoring our “Best Dividend Stocks” list for possible changes and will keep all our subscribers posted of any moves we make.
