16:23 EDT	SNE	On The Fly: Closing Wrap Stocks on Wall Street were higher on a Tuesday again, keeping the strange "Tuesday in 2013" streak alive. Some positive domestic economic data and bullish commentary from Appaloosa Management's David Tepper set the tone early and the averages traded with an upward bias for almost the entire trading day. Today's advance means that every Tuesday this year has seen the market log gains, and investors will have to wait another week to see if the pattern continues. ECONOMIC EVENTS: The NFIB small business optimism index for April rose to 92.1, versus expectations for it to climb to 90.3 from its prior 89.5 reading. Import prices were reported to have declined 0.5% in April, which was in-line with expectations. Export prices declined 0.7%, versus a forecast for a 0.1% drop in the month. COMPANY NEWS: Dell (DELL) shares lost 6c, or 0.44%, to $13.46 after Dow Jones said the company will report first quarter non-GAAP earnings of 20c per share, 15c below current consensus estimates. That followed an earlier report from CNBC's David Faber, who also said the company will report earnings that miss expectations and accurately called that Dell has moved its report to Thursday, which is earlier than had been expected... Sony (SNE) shares added $1.87, or 9.9%, but closed off their best levels at $20.76 after the New York Times reported that Dan Loeb of Third Point has built a 6.5% stake and proposes that the company take its entertainment unit public. MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was InterOil (IOC), up $7.46, or 9.57%, to $85.39 after reporting its earnings and saying its talks with "major oil companies and a national oil company" about a potential LNG partnership are in the final stages. Also higher was SodaStream (SODA), up $6.79, or 11.85%, to $64.08 after at least two analyst firms raised their price target on shares following yesterday's analyst day presentations. Among noteworthy losers was Solar City (SCTY), down $4.44, or 12.37%, to $31.44 after the company's first quarter earnings missed expectations and the stock was downgraded by at least two firms. Also lower was Velti (VELT), down 29c, or 14.5%, to $1.71 after its revenue outlook fell below estimates. INDICES: The Dow was up 123.57, or 0.82%, to 15,215.25; the Nasdaq was up 23.82, or 0.69%, to 3,462.61; and the S&P 500 was up 16.57, or 1.01%, to 1,650.34.
