MHCV values in general went up 2.58%.  Several of the stocks we track went up, but most went down. Companies with positive gains: CVCO 4.57%, SKY 1.96%.

The Associated Press tells MHProNews that the stock market ended an uncertain day, mostly lower, after the price of oil took another plunge.

Major indexes headed lower at the opening bell, as a drop in crude oil tugged energy stocks down. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index recovered its losses by midday, then swung from a solid gain to a slight loss in the final hour of trading.

“I think there’s a sense of uneasiness and lack of conviction among investors right now,” according to Terry Sandven, senior equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. “You see that in the split personality of the market.”

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 8.52 points, or 0.4 percent, to 2,041.51.

The Dow edged up 6.62 points, less than 0.1 percent, to 17,673.02 and the Nasdaq sank 11.03 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,716.70.
