Markets kicked off Friday on a good note, bouncing nicely after the big slide earlier in the week. All indexes posted gains in the 3/4% range. Despite news of a slow economy, stocks held. Earnings reports were good, and buyers were on the prowl. Score one for investors. At my house, we're counting down to the Superbowl. Despite the lack of Manning presence, we'll be looking for a good game. The race is on to produce the best commercials for the game. Anheuser Busch will be leading the pack again.

Dow +97.74
NASDAQ +21.23
S&P 500 +9.89
