Market Recap: Dow Dips on Tight Consumer Spending; Palm Props Up TechBy Elizabeth Harrow Stocks ended the week mixed, thanks to the day's earnings and economic data It's probably safe to say that we've all learned an important lesson or two about fiscal responsibility during the past year. As evidence, the Commerce Department reported this morning that the personal savings rate surged in May to 6.9%, its highest point since December 1993. Meanwhile, consumer spending rose only 0.3% during the month, revealing that we're socking away much more than we're saving. Unfortunately, widespread frugality is anathema to an economic recovery, and traders expressed their anxiety over the nation's collective belt-tightening by sending stocks modestly lower. One bright spot was the tech sector, which defied the day's negative bias following a better-than-expected earnings report from Palm, Inc. (PALM) -- the equity rallied 15.7% and tagged its highest price in more than nine years in the wake of its fourth-quarter results. | Featured Video Options Spotlight: Silicon LaboratoriesSchaeffer's Senior Equities Analyst Jocelynn Drake looks at the technical performance of the Silicon Laboratories | |||||
