A SPOOKY Start

Happy Halloween! Wall Street gave out treats today. The week started with a bang, with NASDAQ and the tech stocks leading the way. They gained about 1.25% on the day. The Dow and the S&P 500 also showed positive numbers, but not as much as their little brother. Don't expect NASDAQ to repeat. Dell warned after the bell, and this will hold things down tomorrow.

Dow +37.30 NASDAQ +30.42 S&P 500 +8.60
