The Dow made a nearly triple digit move today, just not in the direction it had been going. The blue-chip index shed 96 points, snapping a three-day win streak as blue-chip earnings weighed on Wall Street. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished marginally higher for their fourth straight wins, despite trading on both sides of the aisle all day. All eyes now turn to Netflix's (NFLX) earnings report due out momentarily, while investors also await gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation data later this week.
