It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

Today just seemed to be part of the ebb and flow of the market.        

 

      Stocks declined as some prominent companies gave guidance of lower performance in future earnings.  The

Standard & Poor’s 500 Index fell from a record, as valuations reached an almost four-year high and forecasts at companies from Caterpillar Inc. to Broadcom Corp. disappointed investors.

      Today just seemed to be part of the ebb and flow of the market.  The S&P is up almost 4% for the month of October, over 23% for the year.  This is the heart of earnings season where U.S. corporations announce how much they have earned and give guidance on what they think they will earn going forward.

      Caterpillar dropped 6.6 percent after reducing its 2013 revenue and profit forecast as slumping metal demand decreases orders from mining companies. Broadcom, a maker of chips that connect mobile devices to the Internet, slipped 2.9 percent. Boeing Co. climbed 4.8 percent after boosting its full-year earnings estimate. Corning Inc. jumped 14 percent after approving a $2 billion buyback and agreeing to purchase full ownership of a Samsung Electronics Co. joint venture.
