Stocks Close 2010 Mixed

The last trading session of 2010 ended with the broader averages in the red, despite some underlying strength from a variety of issues. The Dow gained 8 points, the S&P 500 had a small loss, down a fraction of a point, and the NASDAQ 10 dipped points. Despite today being quiet in terms of volume, the rumor mill was ever present, as Imax IMAX was reported to be the interest of Sony SNE at a price north of $40 per share. Shares of Imax finished the day up %4.4 to $28.05.
