It was a choppy, lethargic effort, but the bulls got the job done. The S&P 500‘s close of 2,262.53 was 0.20% stronger than Friday’s close. New record highs still remain elusive after last week’s lull, but those levels are still in sight.
Not every stock mustered a modest gain on Monday though. In fact, some were remarkably deep on the red. Among the worst of the worst were Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMBC), Deutsche Bank AG (USA) (NYSE:DB) and Mosaic Co (NYSE:MOS). Here’s what upended each one.
Mosaic Co (MOS)
Brazilian iron company Vale SA (ADR) (NYSE:VALE) is getting out of the fertilizer business, and U.S.-based fertilizer name Mosaic is getting a bit deeper into it, buying the division Vale is shedding. With VALE shares down 5.4% and MOS stock off by 6% though, it’s pretty clear neither shareholder base is thrilled with the deal, or its terms.

Miscellaneous shorts. Lamensdorf is also betting against Japanese printer and camera giant Canon (CAJ) since he believes the company still hasn’t figured out a way to compete with smartphones.
- [By Dan Carroll]
Nikon’s story is similar to what’s plaguing its Japanese rival, Canon (NYSE: CAJ ) . Canon’s stock has nosedived by 20% year to date, but the stock’s recovered nearly 3% over the past month. Don’t let appearances fool you: The company slashed its full-year sales and profit forecasts back in July, as the worldwide camera market has slumped, and as smartphones continue to take over this aging niche. Canon’s route back to respectability looks like a treacherous climb.
