The Dow Jones industrial average is now up two trading days in a row and has reduced some of the losses from last week. It was the first gain in five days for the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Stocks have turned volatile ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting that begins Tuesday, as investors bet on whether the central bank will dial back the stimulus that has boosted stock prices this year. All of the big indexes are up more than 20 percent for 2013. Karyn Cavanaugh, market strategist with ING U.S. Investment Wall Street Management, said she doesn't expect such large returns next year — maybe more like 10 percent. ''But that's actually good for investor confidence,'' she said. ''When they see these big huge numbers, I think they look at it with kind of a jaded eye and think, 'Is that really sustainable? Maybe it's already run its course so I want to get out.''' As of 3:26 p.m. Eastern time, the Dow was up 134 points, or 0.9 percent, at 15,890, after rising almost 175 points in the morning. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 12 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,787. The Nasdaq composite was higher by 27 points, or 0.7 percent, at 4,028. 1/2 OFF first month rent! ❄ Independent Living ❄ Private Apartments ❄ Three Nutritious Meals Daily ❄ 24 Hour Secure Environment ❄ House Keeping Services ❄ Warm & Friendly Staff ❄ Recreational Programs ❄ Scheduled Transportation ❄ Private & Formal Dining Rooms A Retirement Community for the Active Senior Citizens 750 David Avenue, Red Bluff • 527-9193 EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY Two major deals caught investors' attention: Chipmaker Avago Technologies is buying LSI Corp. for $6.6 billion. Avago was up $4.47, or 10 percent, to $50.12, while LSI rose $3.05, or 39 percent, to $10.97. And AIG is selling its aircraft leasing business for about $5.4 billion to Dutch leasing company AerCap. AIG has been selling major assets after getting a bailout during the financial crisis. Its shares rose 50 cents, or 1 percent, to $50.23. The Avago-LSI deal helped make tech stocks the biggest gainers among the 10 industries in the S&P 500, all of which rose. Others with gains included computer hard drive makers Western Digital and Seagate, which both benefited from analyst upgrades. Also Monday, the Federal Reserve said factory production accelerated in November as auto production surged. The gains in manufacturing could help boost economic growth. Just last week, such positive reports were making investors nervous. That's because they feared that the Fed would think that the economy is doing so well that its $85 billion in monthly bondbuying is no longer needed.
