while caterpillar's loss was the biggest drop among dow industrial stocks, bank of america was the dow's biggest gain, as the financial sector limited the broad market's fall today. b-of-a shot up almost 3%, and on heavier than usual volume, even for it. this is bank of america's highest closing price since july. we have more analysis of b-of- a's stock chart on our web site under the "blogs" tab an nbr.com. the market's focus was on oracle after the closing bell. the business software giant had a much better than expected quarter, earning 62 cents per share, six cents over estimates. even though hardware revenue dropped from the previous quarter, new software licenses, a key area for growth, continued to move up. shares have rallied since the year began, and moved up 1% ahead of tonight's report. while the company has almost $14 billion in cash, it did not increase its dividend. >> i was surprised oracle didn't raise their dividend this quarter, actually. they're not a dividend machine, but they have tons of cash, and sales have been growing. i'd think they could easily afford to up it.
