US stocks finished mixed despite rising most of the day after a survey of top economists by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said the U.S. will escape a recession. Another bit of good news was Warren Buffett's offer to aid the municipal bond businesses of three troubled bond insurers.
The Dow rose 133.40 points to 12373.41 after having risen as much as 229 points, the S&P 500 rose 9.73 points to 1348.86, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.02 points to 2320.04.
