Mixed Day

NASDAQ took off this morning and stayed in positive territory all day. The tech news from yesterday was the driver on this index. The result was a 1% gain. The story was not the same for large-caps, though. The Dow started off big, then saw its gains whittled away. By closing, the numbers were slightly in the red. Ebay's bottom line is a loss, but that's not all bad. It posted a 30% increase in revenue. The loss was attributed to the Skype acquisition.
