The stock market is up Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.45%, the Nasdaq up 0.36% and the S&P 500 up 0.58%. Today’s market winners include both a coffee company and a software firm getting bought out, while today’s sole loser is a telecommunications firm getting bought out for more than originally thought by another firm who already owns a large portion.
