High Hopes on Tuesday

The Dow Industrials jumped up over 100 points today as oil plummeted below $64 a barrel, and investors are hoping that consumer spending will not slow down, despite the cooling housing market. Goldman Sachs did well also, helping the S&P 500 gain 13.57 points. Not bad, for a rainy Tuesday. In other news, H-P and Bristol-Myers announced high administrative changes today. And we're keeping our eye on Syria and the U.S. Embassy. DJIA: +101.25 Nasdaq: +42.57 S&P 500: +13.57
