November 25, 2014: Markets opened higher on Tuesday but the gains were small heading into the long weekend. The second reading on U.S. GDP was higher than expected, but that was not enough to hold onto early gains.  Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded up 0.09% for the day, the S&P 500 traded down 0.04%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded up 0.09%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily gain ahead of 2.83% at $111.87. The stock’s 52-week range is $97.30 to $120.66. Volume was about 50% above the daily average of around 4.2 million shares. The company’s CEO unexpectedly resigned Monday morning, and investors appear to be more than okay with that.

The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) traded higher by 1.35% at $91.80. The stock’s 52-week range is $68.80 to $92.00. Volume was about 15% below the daily average of around 6.8 million shares. The stock is getting a boost likely on the back of a toy doll linked to the movie “Frozen” that beat out Mattel’s Barbie for the most popular toy for girls this holiday season.

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) traded up 0.96% at $30.51. The stock’s 52-week range is $27.51 to $32.96. Trading volume was about 30% below the daily average of around 24 million shares. The company had no specific news today.

Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) traded higher by 1.17% at $257.61. The stock’s 52-week range is $194.84 to $258.00. Volume was about 10% below the daily average of around 2.8 million shares. The DJIA’s most heavily weighted stock had no specific news today.

Of the Dow 30 stocks 14 are set to close lower today and 16 are on track to close higher.
