Small-cap stocks remained higher into mid-session, underpinned by a few bright spots on the earnings front, M&A enthusiasm and confirmation of Timothy Geithner’s appointment as Treasury Department Secretary. However, record low consumer confidence kept some buyers at bay. Some of today’s small-cap gainers were Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq:NFLX), Patriot Coal Corp. (NYSE:PCX) and Massey Energy Co. (NYSE:MEE).

The consumer confidence report came in this morning at 37.7, which was below the forecast of 39 and at record lows as consumers fret about sinking house prices and rising unemployment. Speaking of house prices, the Case-Shiller Home Price Index tumbled 18.2% from year-ago levels, which clouded some of the optimism from Monday’s more upbeat existing home sales data.

As for big-cap earnings news, American Express, US Steel and Texas Instruments helped offset weak reports from Verizon Communications and DuPont Co. and provided a small sliver of hope that an awful earnings season will still serve up some glimmer of good news.

Looking at sector activity so far today, coal stocks, steel companies, health-care distributors, diversified banks, motorcycle manufacturers, industrial conglomerates, advertising agencies, office electronics and semiconductor firms were the top performers.

Small-cap stocks edged lower in a fairly weak start to this week’s trading, pulled down by worries about corporate profits as we enter the unofficial start of earnings season this afternoon. Energy and commodity stocks were a source of worry early today as crude oil futures extended the recent slide.  Some of today’s small-cap gainers are A-Power (Nasdaq:APWR), Aladdin Knowledge Systems (Nasdaq:ALDN) and Hologic (Nasdaq:HOLX).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• Overseas markets were lower coming into today’s session, which likely weighed on the market as well.

• Crude oil prices tumbled more than $2 a barrel into the U.S. stock market opening, which could pull down energy stocks.

Small-cap stocks remained solidly lower into midday trading, as a sharp reduction in non-farm payrolls and the highest unemployment rate in 15 years took a toll on the investor psyche.

Grace & Co. (NYSE:GRA), Thoratec Corp. (Nasdaq:THOR) and Jefferies (NYSE:JEF).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• Many experts are expecting the unemployment rate will continue to ratchet higher in December and January.

Small-cap stocks remained solidly lower into midday trading, as a sharp reduction in non-farm payrolls and the highest unemployment rate in 15 years took a toll on the investor psyche. Energy and commodity stocks were the primary bearish influence, although a pullback in homebuilder and retailer shares also weighed on the market. At 11:31 a.m. ET, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was down 11.01, or 2.51%, at 428.52.

Crude oil prices tumbled below $42 a barrel, the lowest point since January 2005 as energy traders fretted about a global recession, led by their biggest customer – the United States. Energy stocks were off about 5%, far outpacing other sectors. Surprisingly, financial and bank shares were actually slightly positive despite the downbeat jobs report.

Those worries in the commodities arena about the demand side of the equation only gathered momentum after today’s dreary employment report not only showed the unemployment rate rose to the highest level since 1993 at 6.7%, but also reflected the largest one-month drawdown in payrolls since December 1974. The Commodity Research Bureau Index was down 2.3% this morning, setting fresh bear market lows while tumbling to the lowest point since August 2002. Among S&P sector groups, the biggest losses were seen in oil exploration and oil production, broadcasting, gold stocks, oil and gas drillers, power products, metal and mining shares, forest products, coal and oil and gas storage.

With plenty of somber news in the air today, it was interesting to see that financial stocks were holding up reasonably well. There continues to be a thought . . .

The dour tone on manufacturing started in Asia, where new orders for China’s manufacturing sector fell hard, stirring worries about the global recession. Then, the worries followed through to Europe and finally here to the United States, as the ISM Manufacturing Survey came in at 36.2, which was below the forecast of 38.0. In addition, the construction spending report was pegged at minus 1.2%, also below the projection for a dip of 0.9%.

Energy stocks were also an early drag on the market, taking a cue from sinking crude oil prices. The market for “black gold” was off nearly $4 a barrel this morning, pummeled by news that OPEC said they would wait to make a decision on further supply cuts and also by the troubling economic news around the globe.

The dollar was up about 0.5% against the euro, which also weighed on commodity prices this morning. Copper and aluminum prices were lower in Asian trading as those markets react to the China manufacturing news. Within the commodity realm, Brazilian stocks were off some 3% early today, as that country is heavily dependent on commodity exports.

Investors will be looking for news about how the holiday shopping season is moving along. The early returns seem positive for the “Black Friday” kickoff of the season after last Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day holiday, but the way the market is trading today suggests there might be some hidden weakness in those returns. Today is known as “Cyber Monday” as consumers scan the Internet for holiday bargains, and any feel for those returns could also be important as the day progresses.

From a money flow perspective, investors appeared to be fleeing stocks for safe-haven outlets in the credit markets. European bund futures hit contract highs . . .

Small-cap stocks meandered through the morning moving back and forth on either side of steady ground as investors juggled negative input from economic data against oversold conditions in the shadow of the previous bounce off the lows. Today’s small-cap gainers are Patriot Coal Corp. (Nasdaq:PCX), Protection One Inc. (Nasdaq:PONE) and K-Swiss (Nasdaq:KSWS).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• Looking at the charts, small caps were now flirting with a level that would put the Russell on track for the lowest daily close in more than five years.  
• Tech stocks continue to be a drag on things today, with the Nasdaq 100 persistently underperforming the other indices.  
•  the market fully expects the employment picture to get even worse over the next few months.
• The number of people filing continuing unemployment claims rose to 3.9 million, the highest level in 25 years.

Small-cap stocks meandered through the morning moving back and forth on either side of steady ground as investors juggled negative input from economic data against oversold conditions in the shadow of the previous bounce off the lows. By midday, the bears were starting to reassert their voice, and at 12:19 p.m. ET, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was down 3.78, or 0.84%, at 449.01.

It was interesting to see that the market was clearly bifurcated today; even when prices for the major index products were hovering near steady levels, it’s not like the underlying stocks were content just to waffle through the day unchanged. Looking at sector activity, sizable gains were seen for real estate services, industrial REITS, wireless telecoms, coal, forest products, steel, casinos, and metals and mining stocks. Meanwhile, big losses were registered for homebuilders, consumer finance firms, industrial conglomerates, department stores, automobile manufacturers, investment banks and brokerage firms, systems software companies, advertisers, specialized finance and aluminum stocks. So, even when the indices were basically flat, the individual winners and losers were fairly demonstrative.

The market is struggling to decide if today’s ugly report on weekly unemployment claims was already priced into the market and therefore a non-event. The last time the market decided to “fade” the trend suggested by negative jobs data was less than a week ago on Friday’s big monthly employment report. The fade strategy worked for a day, but got clobbered this week. As for today’s release, weekly unemployment claims soared to 516,000, the highest level in seven years. What’s more, the number of people filing continuing claims rose to 3.9 million, the highest level in 25 years. Sure, we’ve got more people living in America now than we did seven years ago, and certainly more than we had 25 years ago, but it’s still unsettling knowing that more people are struggling to find a job than we’ve seen in a quarter of a . . .

AMAG Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq:AMAG), Protection One Inc. (Nasdaq:PONE) and Optimer Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq:OPTR) are among the biggest percentage gainers in Thursday's trading among companies with market capitalizations under $1 billion.
