Happy Mufti Day Traders,
DOW Snapshot from previous trading session
"Stocks sold off at the open and never looked back Thursday after a disappointing outlook from Cisco Systems dragged on the technology sector all day. Cisco (CSCO, Fortune 500)'s lower outlook for the year initially got the tech sector off to a rocky start, and stocks grappled to make up some lost ground throughout the day.
"There was a realization that the world didn't end because of Cisco," said David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. "What's really driving stock prices today, yesterday and tomorrow more than anything else, is the central bank policies of very low interest rates for a very long time."
Kotok is referring to the Federal Reserve's policy of quantitative easing -- a $600 billion bond-buying spree the central bank announced last week. The news has sent stocks trending generally upward, as investors welcome the stimulus effect of the policy." [Source: cnnmoney.com]
