MARKET SNAPSHOT
------------------------------------------------------------
Stocks moved decisively higher in a broad-based rally.

The tech-laden market overshadowed gains made by the other major indexes. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 64.84 points to 10704.48, and the S&P 500
added 7.58 to 1370.22.
Market breadth finished positive, with 1,751 advancers and 1,297 decliners. Up
volume outpaced down volume, with 521.8 million shares vs. 455 million shares
respectively.
Economic news was at the forefront Friday, as the October employment report
showed a higher-than-expected gain of 310,000 in non-farm payroll jobs, with
unemployment at 4.1 percent, slightly lower than forecast.
