    Good morning Traders (thanks for the handover highlandlad),

    Dow Snapshot

    "Stocks erased most losses by the close Tuesday, with the Dow ending down just 22 points after having fallen close to 300 points earlier in the session, as worries about the global economy were tempered. Stocks had been hit hard through the early afternoon, but began to recover late in the session, with investors nibbling at bank and select technology and consumer issues." [Source: cnnmoney.com]
