After initially dropping with global markets, stocks fight for gains despite a big tumble for oil. Yahoo Finance’s Nicole Sinclair broke down the wild action in the market today.
Winners and losers
Stocks slipping into the red today include Time Warner shares under pressure, Sears after earnings, and Viacom - as the power struggle for the media conglomerate unfolds in the boardroom, Viacom's shares are sliding as weak ad sales hit revenue.
Stocks pulling higher today include Wyndham Worldwide on earnings, Netflix on a bounce back, and Salesforce.com, the world's largest provider of CRM software, popping after Jefferies upgraded it to hold, claiming the recent drop in shares was overdone and improved traction in sales.
