MSFT closed higher for a fifth consecutive trading session on Wednesday and is now overbought above its 200-day moving average.



  • Part of a wave of financial institutions raising capital to repay TARP funds borrowed from the public, American Express ( AXP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) chief Kenneth Chenault said on Wednesday that his firm had met all necessary requirements for repaying the TARP.

( YHOO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) and Apple ( AAPL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating). The U.S. Justice Department is looking into whether or not the companies had an agreement not to hire employees from rival companies.
