Well, it was a lacklustre night on the DOW by the looks of things, however the Ftse and the SPI managed to finish trade in the green. CNN also commented that "The technology sector is arguably the healthiest in the economy right now. But here's a sobering thought: Most major tech stocks are probably never going to get back to the levels they were at a decade ago." [Source: cnnmoney.com]

The DJIA Index finished the session: Down 13.68 pts; and
The SPI Futures are currently: Up 7 pts.

Of Note in the US Tonight: - API Crude Oil Inventories (March 5); ICSC-Goldman Store Sales; and ABC/Washington Post Consumer Confidence (March 7)
