 It's 12.20 and time for an update on our money news. We do that at 20 and 50 past each hour. The markets today have been surging pretty nicely, actually. The Dow is up almost 2%. 733 points better right now to 40,945. The S&P 500 also positive, but not by that much. A half percent gained. The NASDAQ is up just fractionally by three points. That's, let's see here, if my math is right, that's about two hundredths of a single percentage point to 18,476.
