Heading Into February

Today was all about gasoline prices and car manufacturers. Hmmm... I think there's a connection. Exxon posted its best profits yet. Imagine that! I'm paying record prices at the pump, and Exxon is making a killing on the bottom line. GM may get some help with their money woes from Citigroup. The buzz is driving the stock higher, causing investors to breathe a sigh of relief. The end result of all this activity is, basically, a flat market. Oil prices for the day? Over $70 per barrel. Go Exxon! Dow -7.29 NASDAQ +2.55 S&P 500 +1.48
