After a day flipping between positive and negative, the major market indices closed lower.
Leadership is hard to see.
Financial stocks were losers today, along with retail and chip stocks. But other stocks on the move were a hodgepodge of drugmakers, industrial stocks, telecommunications companies and energy stocks. We still haven't broken this 11,000 level yet, though. The Dow Jones Industrial Average earlier flirted with 11,000, coming within five points of that selling level before bouncing off and heading lower. It ended off 16 to 10,935.
