The market was able to get its legs under it for the most part as we get set for options expiration tomorrow. This event can often times move stocks a bit more than usual. We added another dividend stock recommendation to our list this morning that follows in the criteria of yesterday’s addition. Be sure to check out the link below if you did not read the e-mail alert that was sent out this morning. Commodity-related stocks played the role of spoiler as far as the market being able to build on the late rally, with names like CF Indistries ( CF ) , Mosaic ( MOS ) , Peabody Energy ( BTU ) , Schnitzer Steel ( SCHN ) , and EOG Resources ( EOG ) leading the way lower. Nike ( NKE ) had a nice day as the company blew away estimates last night. Ross Stores ( ROST ) was down after the company reported its quarterly results.
