Stock futures steady after big gain

This article is about the stock market. I chose this article because it had to do with money and thats something that i was interested in. Even though the stock market is a confusing system to understand this article has broken it down to me.this paragraph shows one of the gains that the market has had."Stock futures dipped slightly following a massive advance on Monday that sent one key Wall Street indicator, the Standard & Poor's 500 index, into positive territory for the year and the Dow Jones industrials up more than 200 points. Positive news on the housing market fueled the gains." To me this means that some of these stocks were heading down hill just a little but then on monday there was a massive increase that sent the one company skyrocket up the charts. This article is not based on agree or disagree its more of a positive article to where the stock market had big gains.Another example is I think that all of the information had been backed up by only factual information. I would defintly use the recordonline again.

  1. Janay, I agree that AP (the news service that writes national news for the Record) breaks down the information about the stock market so that it's more understandable. I wish you had gone beyond the beginning of the article, though. I also agree that it's primarily factual, so it's kind of hard to mess with or slant. One thing: the Standard and Poors is an index of the stock market overall, not a company.
