Stocks on Wall Street finished flat on the day after lower jobless claims pushed the averages higher to begin the session, but the market was unable to maintain any upward momentum. The Nasdaq in particular was weighed on by a slide in Apple (AAPL) shares, which fell about 2% after an appeals court overturned a temporary injunction that had blocked the sale of Samsung's (SSNLF) Galaxy Nexus smartphone... ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., weekly initial jobless claims were 339,000, versus the expected 370,000.

The trade balance report showed a deficit of $44.2B, versus the expected deficit of $44.0B. A separate report showed import prices increased 1.1% in September, versus the expected increase of 0.7%.

Also up were shares of Oshkosh Corporation (OSK), which rose $3.05, or 11.36%, to $29.90 after investor Carl Icahn made a tender offer to buy any outstanding shares of the company for $32.50 per share and Merrill Lynch said the company may be worth $42-$49 per share in a sum-of-parts valuation. Among the noteworthy losers was Dollar Tree (DLTR), down $3.63, or 7.74%, to $43.28 after saying it sees its Q3 sales coming in at the low end of its prior forecast...

Crest Financial Limited, the largest of the independent minority stockholders of Clearwire Corporation (CLWR), protested the decision of the Clearwire Board of Directors to adjourn the Clearwire special meeting to consider Sprint's (S) increased offer price of $3.40 per share. Crest said that it has sent a letter to the Clearwire Board of Directors urging them to resist Sprint's new offer so that Clearwire can pursue direct offers through a competitive process once the bidding war over Sprint is concluded.
