Although the Dow went up 1.14% today, CNN Money tells MHProNews that Seattle isn’t the only place dealing with post-Super Bowl doom and gloom today. Major companies sound pessimistic about the future. From Caterpillar (CAT) to Microsoft (MFST, Tech30) to Procter & Gamble (PG), executives are bemoaning the fallout of the soaring U.S. dollar, tumbling oil prices, and lifeless overseas economies. Among the S&P 500 companies that have issued guidance for the first quarter so far, a whopping 87% warned their results will likely miss expectations, according to Goldman Sachs. That’s the worst prediction metric ever, at least in the eight years Goldman has been tracking it. Goldman called the level of negativity “astounding” as typically “only” 71% of S&P issue negative guidance at this time of the year.

Listed below are the closing numbers for today’s stock trading.
