Stocks finally stabilize

After three straight down days, the Dow finished up 61 points, helped along by Boeing winning that big air tanker contract. Libya continues to be a big concern, but oil prices finally fell today and that might have helped stocks. The economic news was mixed at best: Economic growth in the fourth quarter was revised downward (consumers didn't spend as much as first thought), but consumer confidence did edge higher. Dow is now at 12,130.
