Good Evening, Poor news about GE put the market in bad mood today which it was unable to overcome. All the major indices finished in the red with the Dow breaking it’s five day winning streak. Specifically, several brokerage firms downgraded GE saying that the company is likely to cut it’s dividend. News that nobody wants to hear. That noted, the last week of October is one of the poorest weeks seasonally speaking throughout the year. So the poor action is really no surprise.
