- Maybe throw away the "DJ10K" hats now?: After eking out a positive result for April, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at its highest point in four years. We'll give you a second to read that again. At 13,279.32, that's its best level since December 28th, 2007. Stocks moved higher on manufacturing data (highlighted more below), as well as BofA's (NYSE: BAC) plans to cut jobs and a little bit of M&A.
- U.S. Auto Sales for April:
- Herbalife - the perfect seasoning for your next cookout!: Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) took a flogging mid-day Tuesday following the earnings conference call in which Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn got a chance to ask a question. Generally, that's probably bad news for executives. Einhorn didn't fail to entertain this time around, grilling Herbalife executives on their business structure and sales disclosures.
