Cold Weather the Cause?

This is my favorite time of the year, when cool winds blow and hot chocolate flows freely. Unfortunately, my great mood can be swayed by other effects of the season. Natural gas futures, for example, rose over 10% today due to a cold weather scare in the Northeast, helping the Dow fall 7.13 points. Amazon's profits fell due to a legal struggle, and the car industry is seeing an increase in operating earnings as they compete for the most advanced in the hybrid series. It was certainly not the worst day, but I'm still looking forward to higher numbers tomorrow! Dow: -7.13 NASDAQ: -6.38 S&P 500: -2.84
