Top 5 Construction Material Stocks To Own For 2014

Until the end of the day, it appeared that the stock market was on track to make another run at new highs, with the S&P 500 coming within just a point of its closing record at its high point today. Yet toward the end of the day, the market gave up much of its gains, as the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) gave up all of its 90-point gain before rebounding a bit to finish up 25 points on the day.

Market analysts blamed the pullback from stronger gains after the president of Germany's central bank criticized a program that the continentwide European Central Bank implemented to provide financial assistance by buying sovereign debt from countries that apply for the ECB's help. With Europe having been relatively stable lately and with favorable signs having come from Italy that its post-election impasse might get resolved favorably, the Bundesbank's action reminded investors that all is not well in the eurozone and that discord could threaten an eventual solution to the European financial crisis.
