DOW Snapshot from the previous trading session
" After tumbling early Monday morning, stocks bounced back to end the session still down, but much closer to breakeven. Stocks had fallen nearly 1.5% earlier in the session, sending the Dow temporarily below 11,000, but they bounced back from those lows late in the afternoon.
"I think this is a trader's market. It was a little bit sleepy this morning, but now stocks are going to come back the other way," said Rich Ilczyszyn, a market strategist with futures-broker Lind Waldock.
