Wall Street edges up on Greece, Disney earnings
Stocks edged higher on Wednesday as hopeful investors awaited the latest attempt by Greece to reach a deal on reforms in exchange for a new bailout.
The delays stirred European Union officials to warn Greece the euro zone could continue without the fiscally troubled nation, which needs a rescue package to avoid an unruly default.
"They are pretty close on the debt talks, and it looks like the prime minister is getting the various members of his coalition in line (so) that they may actually get this done," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.
"These folks have been at it for a very long time. They have been fighting with this issue for about eighteen months, so they really do see this as, ‘We have to get it right this time.’"

Independent Clinical Trial to Run for a Period of Six Months and Focus on People With Type 1 Diabetes

The Easy Check technology is based on a patent-pending reagent cell that mixes a patient’s exhaled air with a proprietary chemical compound, triggering a chemical reaction. The reaction is measured and software in the Easy Check device then interprets the measurement and correlates the patient’s acetone level to the level of glucose in the body. The goal of Easy Check is to eliminate a patient’s need to prick his or her finger multiple times per day to get a blood sugar reading.

Stocks are giving back some of the previous day’s big gains as consumer spending dips
Personal spending fell 0.5 percent in September, the Labor Department reported Friday, in line with forecasts. That follows a 1.3 percent jump in August fueled by the government’s popular Cash for Clunkers car rebate program.
The market is paying close attention to indicators of consumer spending, which is still in a slump despite improvements in other parts of the economy such as manufacturing and housing. Spending by consumers makes up a major part of the U.S. economy.
The Dow Jones industrials jumped nearly 200 points on Thursday following a strong report on gross domestic product growth in the third quarter, but many economists worry that much of that growth came from government stimulus measures and that weak spending by consumers will continue to hold the economy back.
