Pulse: Tech Stocks End Lackluster Day Slightly Higher

Investors, too busy trying to figure out this decimal thing, were unable to do much of anything with the market today. The tech sector added a few decimals in a mostly positive session that continued to lack volume or much of anything in the way of catalysts.

The Nasdaq, which won't go decimals until next year, closed up 27.91, or 0.7%, at 4070.59 after trading as high as 4097.33, getting help from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which was up more than 100 points much of the day before settling up 60. TheStreet.com Internet Sector index ended down 10.57, or 1.3%, at 793.04 due to weakness in Yahoo! (YHOO Quote).
