An employment report for December that showed steady job creation and capped the best year for hiring since 1999 wasn't enough to prevent stocks from ending the week in negative territory, with yet another weak session today.

Consumer confidence surged in November to its highest levels since July as more people bet on better times ahead in 2005, a belief that stock market investors shared today as they continued the year-end rally.

Nearly US$40 billion worth of mergers failed to ignite a broad-based stock market rally today, with investors mulling the latest batch of economic news as well as the corporate hookups.
