Winners and Losers

are narrowly mixed as futures trading has turned modest early gains
into choppy trading at last check. The actively traded Nasdaq-focused
PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ) is down 0.1%.
Bullish broad-market ETFs and futures on major stock indexes were
off to a solidly firmer start early Monday, but are now mixed.
Investors give a favorable reaction to weekend holiday retail results.

multi-lateral 85 billion euro ($113 billion) bailout package for
Ireland only briefly lifted sentiment.
