  • Stocks edge higher, snapping a 5-day losing streak for Dow

    Jan 21, 2017

    (AP) — Materials companies led U.S. stocks modestly higher Friday, recouping much of the market’s loss from a day earlier and snapping a 5-day losing streak for the Dow Jones industrial average.

The major stock indexes pulled back slightly as Trump delivered remarks after taking the oath of office. Among topics of particular interest to Wal...

Before my picks, a quick shout out to NBA Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob and his ownership group who put up all $1.1 billion for their new arena in San Francisco. I have no evidence of this and it’s pure specula...
