Stocks gritted out minor gains Tuesday, with most ETFs staying relatively unchanged as major indexes wavered after a long-anticipated earnings beat from Goldman Sachs (GS) and a report from Bank of America- Merrill Lynch called an end to the global recession.

Goldman reported earnings of $4.93 a share, compared to earnings of $4.58 a share in the same quarter a year ago. It was expected to earn $3.48 a share. While that signaled that the financial sector had moved away from the abyss, much of the revenue came from underwriting secondary share offerings of troubled banks and other institutions struggling to raise capital.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 10 points at 8342. The Nasdaq stayed slightly up, holding a gain of 5 at 1799, while the S&P 500 hovered up 2 at 903. For a detailed rundown on Tuesday s trading session see our market story.
