Filed under: International Business Machines (IBM), CIT Group (CIT), Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT)

With bonds closed and banks closed, equities here in the U.S. had a hard time trying to decide which direction the wind was blowing. The DJIA 11,000 mark was flirted with again in afternoon trading, this time on the downside on what appears to have been a positive close.

Here were today's unofficial closing levels:



Dow Jones 11,008.59 +2.11 (0.02%)

S&P 500 1,165.04 -0.11 (-0.01%)

Nasdaq 2,402.33 +0.42 (0.02%)
