Stocks surrendered some of their gains, but the broad market still settled in higher ground for the sixth time in seven sessions. Investors kept in mind political and social instability in the Middle East and North Africa and Japan’s radiation risk. Tech stocks were mixed heading into the final hour of trading as RIM dived in to the red while Oracle gained. Apple also gained 1.7% and passed the $350 mark on launching iPad 2 in 25 foreign markets. In coming week volatility will drive markets again as crises in Japan and Libya still continue, also investors will focus on the U.S. job market.
