Ho-hum session ends an up year for stocks – 12/31/10

0

2010 was a good year for the stock market. And with their profits already tucked away, many traders apparently started celebrating early rather than working on New Year’s Eve. Trading was light and stock prices didn’t move much as some folks did a little portfolio dressings. The major indices moved up and down from dead flat throughout the day. When the bell rang, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the year’s final session up eight points at 11,578. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were both down a bit. Broadcasting stocks were also mixed.


The RBR Radio Index was down 0.065, or 0.02%, to 338.477.

The TVBR Television Index was up 7.372, or 3.43%, to 222.569 – barely squeaking out an all-time high for the final day of 2010.
