The stock market is up Friday, continuing the rally that began yesterday when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced another round of bond purchases. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 0.53%, the Nasdaq is up 1% and the S&P 500 is up 0.67%. Today’s winner rose on announcement of a major hedge fund buying more shares, while today’s loser is offering more common stock.
