US Stocks: Friday's unofficial close

19 Nov, 2005

US stocks erased early gains and were little changed on Friday as media and entertainment company Walt Disney Co fell on weaker earnings, and sliding oil prices dragged down some energy shares.
Investors locked in profits after Thursday's gains that put the Dow average at an eight-month high and the Nasdaq at a four-year high.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 6.71 points, or 0.06 percent, at 10,713.51. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 0.03 points, 0 percent, at 1,242.83. The technology-laced Nasdaq Composite Index was up 2.95 points, or 0.13 percent, at 2,223.41.
