Stocks closed mixed Monday, with the Dow edging closer to the psychologically-important 13,000 level and the S&P 500 holding near its key 1,370 level, but gains were limited as the Nasdaq was dragged down by heavyweights such as Apple and Google. "We're back to headline risk and with less fundamental news, you're more susceptible to big market swings," said Brian Battle, vice president of trading at Performance Trust Capital Partners. "The focus remains what's going on in Europe and the yields."
