Small growth for Dow
Wall Street ended a choppy session with a moderate advance today after a better-than-expected profit report at Boeing and a seesaw day in the energy markets.
Boeing, one of the 30 stocks that comprise the Dow Jones industrial average, reported a 38% jump in first-quarter earnings. The airplane manufacturers' results, along with stronger-than-anticipated forecasts at chip makers Broadcom and Anadigics, appeared to buoy investor sentiment about the first-quarter earnings season.
