Latest Finance Stories

FILE - In this May 21, 2012 file photo, television correspondent Sabrina Quagliozzi reports from inside the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York's Times Square. To say that Facebooks debut as a public company was bungled is something like saying Facebook is a website you might have heard of. Either way, its a colossal understatement. The response from small-time investors has been equal parts frustration, confusion and anger. Fed up, some are dumping their shares and accepting the losses. Others, while miffed, are holding on and hoping to ride the stocks eventual success. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)

Cheaper gas spur... FILE - In this May 28, 2010 file photo, the rush hour commute starts in early afternoon and with greater intensity as traffic is jammed in both directions on Interstate 405 on the Westside of Los Angeles as commuters and vacationers hit the road.

About 30.7 million people will drive more than 50 miles on vacation for Memorial Day, according to auto club AAA. That's 400,000 more than a year earlier, a jump AAA attributes to improvement in the economy and consumer sentiment. The number of holiday travelers grows to 34.8 million when you throw in planes, trains and other means of transportation, a 1.2 percent increase from 2011.(AP Photo/Reed Saxon, file)
