As dusk settled on Wall St., the markets closed up. The Dow rose .56% to 12,412. The Nasdaq rose .51% to 2,414. The S&P rose .48% to 1,418.

There were reports that Ford is in talks with Toyota about technology sharing, but the car maker’s shares barely moved.

Amazon announced that it had its best shopping season ever, but Wall St. seems confused about what the meant. The online retailers shares fell slightly.

Oil prices fell slightly which helped fuel stock gains.

Microsoft rose after the press reported that it will sell highly targeted advertising onto its HotMail and Live platforms.

Among the most actives, Sirius was down slightly to $2.67. Ford rose 1% to $7.50. Intel was up slightly at $20.14. Applied Materials rose almost 3% to $18.65. Apple dropped almost 1% to $81.50. Time Warner rose about a half a percent to $22.20.
