09:45 am : Stocks open on a low note. The selling pressure is understandable,
as corporate and economic news was bearish this morning.
The fourth quarter preliminary reading was unchanged from the advanced reading at 0.6%.
Economists were expecting a reading of 0.8%.
New unemployment claims for the week ended Feb. 23 rose to 373,000 from 354,000.
The consensus estimate called for a reading of 350,000.
Earnings news was worse than expected for the most part.
Freddie Mac (FRE 26.18, +1.09) and Sears Holdings (SHLD 98.76, -2.84) both missed their earnings estimates.
Meanwhile, Sprint Nextel (S 8.01, -0.94) topped its earnings expectations,
but is getting clipped after eliminating its dividend and posting a decline in wireless subscribers.
The company wrote down nearly $30 billion in goodwill.
The write-down is related to the premium it paid in its acquisition of Nextel, and is a non-cash charge.
