TradingMarkets 7 Stocks You Need to Know for Monday
Stocks start fresh Monday after a difficult week. Excitement is running high for earnings on several key names. The session ended Friday on a bullish note despite a sharp early sell off. Mixed information from the nonfarm payrolls number was counteracted by positive manufacturing employment data pushing shares higher on the day. Encouraging words from Greece combined with a better than expected number from the consumer credit report added to the late day surge. The DJIA advanced 10.05, the Nasdaq fought higher by 15.69, and the S&P 500 climbed 3.08.
