Welcome to The Daily Stock Report...brought to you by Quality Stocks.Net, performance tracked daily.

I'm Cathy Rankin and for Thursday March 1st .... we're bringing you the latest news from around the markets as well as the top movers to look out for today...
In Headline News Today...

With many believing that the stock market had gotten ahead of itself, it appears Tuesday's drubbing may have been the long-overdue consolidation that had been talked about for some time.

Even though the market was poised for a rebound before Fed Chairman Bernanke began speaking before the House Budget Committee at 10:00 ET, there's no question that his ensuing thoughts about Tuesday's sell-off helped provide the reassurance investors needed to stay the course long enough to recoup some of the market's meltdown.

After all, the spate of economic data hitting the wires before Bernanke even took the podium today was disappointing on the whole. At 8:30 ET, Q4 GDP was revised lower, as expected, checking in at 2.2%. The advance read a month earlier showed the U.S. economy grew at a 3.5% pace.

At 9:45 ET, the Chicago PMI fell to its lowest level (47.9%) in February since April 2003, serving as a reminder that the manufacturing sector is struggling. Then at 10:00 ET, new home sales in January plunged 16.6%, the biggest drop in 13 years, adding insult to the ongoing injury that is housing.

Be that as it may, Bernanke surprisingly answered questions pertaining to yesterday's plunge and did so with a slew of remarks that helped participants look past the day's disappointing economic reports, rising interest rates and higher energy prices. Nine out of 10 sectors posting gains.

Bernanke reassured investors, saying "there didn't seem to be any single trigger'' for Tuesday's sell-off. He also noted that financials markets "seem to be working well" and there has been "no material change" in the Fed's expectation for the U.S. economy. In fact, he said today's downward revision to Q4 GDP is "more consistent with our overall view of the economy'' than the original report and that there's a "reasonable possibility" that the economy will show signs of strengthening as the year progresses.

Economists don't say anything about planned obsolescence and how much Americans lose on depreciation of automobiles every year.

$300,000,000,000 per year, plus interest on car loans, plus car insurance.

What is NDP? They only officially depreciate CAPITAL.
