Welcome to The Daily Stock Report...brought to you by QualityStocks.Net, performance tracked daily. I'm Cathy Rankin and for Wednesday, February 7th.... we're bringing you the latest news from around the markets as well as the top movers to look out for today... In Headline News Today... For a second straight day, stocks looked lethargic as the lack of catalysts this week continues to leave investors indecisive about the sustainability of last week's impressive rally. Even with Fed Chairman Bernanke's testimony out of the way around 1:30 ET, which made no mention of interest rates or the economy, investors struggled to find much incentive to more aggressively get back into a market ripe for a pullback on the heels of the S&P 500's best weekly performance since August. Of the five sectors closing higher, Utilities turned in the best performance as falling bond yields made dividend-paying stocks more attractive. The Dow Jones Utilities Index was up for the seventh straight day and closed at an all-time high. The rate-sensitive and much more influential Financials sector, though, provided the bulk of market support that merely helped the S&P 500 claw back after falling for the first time in five days. Among the five sectors losing ground, Technology was the day's most influential laggard. A Q3 revenue warning from National Semiconductor (NSM 22.71 -0.61) Monday night gave investors another reason to rotate out of semiconductor stocks. Energy was another disappointment as the sector failed to benefit from a late-day rebound in crude. In Our Small Cap News today...
