Before the Bell: Dow industrials, U.S. economy, Groupon in focus
Wall Street is pointing gently higher on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average starting the day less than 100 points from its record level. The U.S. economy ticked higher in the fourth quarter. Europe markets benefitted from defenses of loose monetary policy from both Fed chief Bernanke and ECB chief Draghi.

Europe stocks also turn narrowly higher.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also suffered serious declines, falling 2.37% and 2.48%, respectively. Market watchers gave many reasons for the decline — some blamed the election of Barack Obama, who ran on a platform to increase taxes on the wealthy, including capital gains taxes and taxes on dividends. If such policies were to go into effect, they would most likely depress asset values.
