GoDaddy pops, dollar dominance and auto sales are out

The three major indices (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) have all spent their mornings in the red as stocks struggle here on the first day of the second quarter. One stock bucking the trend is the newest addition to the world of publicly traded companies, GoDaddy.com (GDDY). Shares spiked by as much as 30% over the IPO price when trading opened earlier this morning.

Brainiac battle
And finally, it's the egghead version of a celebrity cat fight. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is using Ben Bernanke's new blog to battle with the ex-Fed Chair over economic theory.
