The stock markets losing streak may soon be snapped. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 1.21%, the Nasdaq is up 0.98% and the S&P 500 is up 1.13%. Today’s big winner was a life insurance company getting bought out. One big loser was a for-profit education firm struggling with accredidation, while a shipping company is selling off more of its common stock.
