Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

Stocks retreated Friday for the third straight day on fresh concerns about President Barack Obama's proposed restrictions on banks.

The market is extending losses that gave the Dow Jones industrial average its biggest two-day drop since June. Not even upbeat earnings from General Electric and McDonald's were able to offset the new worries.

Obama spooked the market Thursday after asking Congress for limits on how large big banks can be and to end some of the risky trading large financial companies have used in recent quarters to boost profits.

In morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 27.89, or 0.3 percent, to 10,361.99. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 4.25, or 0.4 percent, to 1,112.23, while the Nasdaq composite index declined 10.19, or 0.5 percent, to 2,255.51.
