Bernanke's Talk Kills Stock Rally - WSJ.com

Bernanke's Talk Kills Stock Rally - WSJ.com: "NEW YORK—A gloomy economic assessment from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke erased an earlier stock rally, sending major indexes in the final minutes of Tuesday's session to their fifth consecutive drop."

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 19.15 points, or 0.2%, to 12070.81. The blue-chip index has dropped 4% during its five-day skid, its longest losing streak since August. The Dow rose as much as 89 points Tuesday afternoon prior to Mr. Bernanke's comments, but turned negative during the remarks and finished at its lowest closing level since March 22.
