Stocks bounce back

By Jim Butman

The stock market bounced back into positive territory this morning as investors absorbed the news that President-elect Barack Obama is calling for more than $300 billion in tax cuts for families and individuals, as well as tax credits of $100 billion for businesses that hire more workers. The largest local gainers in the BizTimes Stock Index this morning were Bucyrus International Inc. (up 95 cents to $22.60) and Metavante Technologies Inc. (up 84 cents to $16.45). The largest local decliners this morning were Badger Meter Inc. (down $1.10 to $28.07) and Strattec Security Corp. (down 52 cents to $18.03).
