The Dow Jones today is struggling after news broke that Iran is attempting to interfere in the U.S. presidential election. This was accompanied by news that Russia had obtained Americans' voter information. John Radcliffe, Director of National Intelligence, said that Iran has been sending spoof e-mails aimed at inciting political unrest and intimidating voters.

Here's the latest update on stimulus, earnings reports, and everything else moving the Dow Jones Industrial Average...

We'll start with the numbers from Wednesday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:

Index Previous Close Point Change Percentage Change
Dow Jones 28,210.82 -97.97 -0.35
S&P 500 3,435.56 -7.56 -0.22
Nasdaq 11,484.69 -31.80 -0.28

Now here's a closer look at what I'm following today. These are the most important market events and stocks.

The Top Stock Market Stories for Thursday

  • On Thursday, we're again paying close attention to what's happening in Washington. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Speaker Nancy Pelosi said they are still making progress on a deal. However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been unwilling to bring a large package to the floor.
Sorry; this signup opportunity has ended.
  • Johns Hopkins University reported that U.S. COVID-19 cases have surpassed 8.27 million. The big news today is that Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) is set to start selling middle seats on its planes in December. The policy ends its physical distancing practices, but studies have shown that travelers are far less likely to contract COVID-19 while on a plane. The company just posted its largest loss ever for a quarter, and it's attempting to increase revenue. However, we could see passengers remain wary about traveling this winter.
  • Last, we're watching Bitcoin surge again - this time with the price surpassing $13,000. The recent run has pushed hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones into bullish territory. This morning, he called Bitcoin one of the best hedges against inflation, which continues to remain muted despite the data. Jones is best known for making an incredible amount of money during the 1987 financial crash.

Stock to Watch Today: TSLA, CMG, T

  • Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) are up 5% after the company reported its fifth-straight quarter of profitability. At $0.76 per share, the figure blew away the $0.57 projected by analysts. The firm also said that it had delivered 139,300 vehicles during the quarter. Telsa will begin delivering cars in factories in Germany and Austin, Texas.
  • Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grille Inc. (NYSE: CMG) were off 4% after the company reported earnings Thursday. The company said that an increase in delivery has increased costs and reduced drink sales during the quarter. This is an interesting development that it appears the company didn't consider when it decided to take on Uber Eats and Grubhub in the sales of its products.
  • Shares of AT&T Corp. (NYSE: T) added 3.5% after the company reported earnings before the bell. The firm reported earnings per share of $0.76, in line with Wall Street expectations. In addition, revenue was well above Wall Street forecasts. The firm reported stronger than expected growth in HBO and HBO Max subscribers.

Are These "Toxic" Stocks Lurking in Your Portfolio?

Almost no one realizes, but some of the most dangerous, portfolio-wrecking stocks are also some of the most popular picks on the market.

Our chief investment strategist is going live and shining a light on the specific stocks that should be nowhere near your portfolio.

In this fast-paced lightning round event, he'll also detail the stocks that every investor in the world should have in their portfolio right now.

This event could revolutionize how you make money this year. Watch now...
