The stock market is down Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.09%, the Nasdaq down 0.57% and the S&P 500 down 0.33%. Today’s winners include a smartphone manufacturer gearing up to release a new phone and a biotechnology company optimistic about one of its staple drugs. Today’s sole loser is another smartphone manufacturer that cut orders due to less than expected demand.
