The DJIA(sm) closed lower today ending its streak of eight consecutive sessions with a gain. Analysts say today's losses were due to tax loss selling, which is expected to continue through tomorrow, not the usual culprit profit-taking. Despite today's losses, analysts expect stocks to trade higher tomorrow as fund managers take one last opportunity to dress up their portfolios before the end of the year. While analysts continue to be optimistic about the first couple of months of next year, they warn that next week could be rocky as traders take advantage of the new tax year to lock in profits.
