Wall Street flat as consumer shares offset optimism

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stock indexes were little changed on Tuesday as optimism over the economic outlook was offset by a decline in consumer stocks.

Tuesday's small move follows a jump in stock indexes Monday as manufacturing data around the world prompted investors to inject new money into equities.

“You are continuing to see positive news as far as the economy goes, which has continued to fuel this rally as we enter the new year,” said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer at North Star Investment Management Corp in Chicago.

“Most of the year-end prognostications for the market for 2011 were calling for a fairly strong year, so I think that may be getting the retail investor a little bit more interested,” he said.
