Wall Street trades mixed

AfP, New York
US stocks closed mixed Friday, with financials gaining interest but sprawling conglomerate General Electric's grim outlook unnerving investors.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 45.24 points (0.56 percent) to close at 8,077.56.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 11.80 points (0.81 percent) to 1,477.29 and the broad-market Standard & Poor's 500 index edged up 4.45 points (0.54 percent) to 831.95.
After opening in the red, stocks crisscrossed back and forth into positiveterritory.
"Today’s market looked more like an advanced yo-yo session rather than a regular stock market trading day," said Jon Ogg, analyst at 24 /7Wall Streetcom.
Stocks had slid Thursday after a strong rally the previous day, with
dismal government reports on rising unemployment and housing construction, as well as poor corporate earnings results, weighing on sentiment.
Briefing.com's Patrick O'Hare said the market's inability to stretch the positive bias beyond a single session Wednesday reflected the "understandably skeptical manner in which equity markets participants are operating."
"The skepticism toward the financial sector and the government's ability to manage the situation is on display again," he said.
President Barack Obama warned in a meeting with congressional leaders on Friday that the economic crisis may be unprecedented, and needed to be dealt with "rapidly."
"We are experiencing an unprecedented, perhaps, economic crisis that has to be dealt with, and dealt with rapidly," the president said in his third
full day in office.
Falling stock markets in Europe and Asia also weighed on sentiment, as did news that Britain's economy shrank 1.5 percent in the 2008 fourth quarter, pushing the economy into recession for the first time since 1991.
The US economic calendar was bare, leaving investors to focus on the week's drumbeat of grim corporate and economic news.
Among stocks in focus, General Electric plunged 10.76 percent to 12.03 dollars. The huge conglomerate, considered a bellwether of the US economy, reported fourth-quarter net profit fell 44 percent and predicted an "extremely difficult" 2009.
"GE insists that it capital position will make it nearly certain that the company can keep its AAA rating. If its results worsen that still may not be true," said Douglas McIntyre at24/7 Wall Street.
