Monday

Stocks fell today as investors worried that the $112.61 billion Irish bailout might not be enough to contain the euro-zone debt crisis. The Dow closed in the red .36% with its technology components among the average's worst performers. HP declined 1.4%, while IBM slid .7% after Gartner Inc. cut its world-wide personal-computer shipments forecast for the year. On the bright side, early reads from the Black Friday shopping weekend indicated that business was brisk and heavier than last year, especially in consumer electronics, toys and jewelry. DJIA -39.51 Nasdaq -9.34 S&P 500 -1.64.
