  • It's a new month, but the song remains the same for stocks, with shares

    It's a new month, but the song remains the same for stocks, with shares generally higher at midday on Friday, albeit by modest amounts. Substantive headlines out of the Middle East are in short supply based on a seemingly bogged-down conflict. Still, oil prices are moving lower today on hopes that a resolution will be reached at some point and without further fighting. Meanwhile, earnings reports are getting their usual amount of attention. And the news has been generally good, especially from tech companies that have suffered at times this year based on bubble fears.
