Bumpy ride ends in positive

Stocks ended up Friday, after bouncing all over the place during the day. Hewlett-Packard proved to be the strongest component on the Dow, gaining 3.8%. Crude-oil futures jumped back up to $95.10 a barrel, posting a $1.67 increase. Garmin shares soared 16.1% after it dropped out of the bidding to buy digital map provider Tele Atlas, leaving TomTom as the winning bidder. It was nice to end the week on a positive note and lets hope it carries into next week. Be safe and have a great weekend! DJIA +66.74 Nasdaq +18.73 S&P 500 +7.59
