0:00.0	Well, that's the end of regulation. Two charities ringing the closing bells today. The Sled at the New York Stock Exchange. And I have the right to doing the honors at the NASDAQ. Stocks, as you just heard Dom mention, fracturally. And I do mean fractionally lower in this Friday after Christmas. A Santa Claus rally pause, if you will, on thin volume. The Dow down turning positive with seconds left in the session.
0:24.2	We'll see where it settles.
0:25.2	It may be just fractionally lower here to close.
0:28.2	The S&P 500, very small loss.
0:30.4	The NASDAQ down about a tenth of a percent.
0:32.8	And the Russell 2000 off half a percent.
0:35.2	That was the lagger today.

1:13.0	Up 10% all trading at record highs today. Bonso, little changed. The yield on the 10-year note,
1:20.5	holding steady around 4.14%. Rangebound as of late, but lower than where the year started.
1:27.1	That is the scorecard on Wall Street.
1:28.8	Welcome to Closing Bell overtime.
1:30.1	I'm Morgan Brennan.
1:31.2	John Fort is off today.
