Stocks dipped in morning trading following a big advance Monday that sent the Standard & Poor's 500 index into positive territory for the year and the Dow Jones industrials up more than 200 points. Positive news on the housing market drove the gains.

Careful remarks from Bernanke gave investors little comfort. The Fed chief told Congress that the economy should start growing again later this year, but he warned that economic activity is likely to be held back by more job losses.

The mix of caution and optimism contained in Bernanke's remarks highlighted the conflicting forces that have been tugging at the market in recent weeks.

An increasing amount of upbeat economic data has driven stocks to their best two-month performance in nearly 35 years. However a number of dark clouds still hang over Wall Street, including growing unemployment and mixed news from first-quarter corporate earnings reports.

This week, two major news events could easily upset the market's mood. Results are due out Thursday for the government's "stress tests" on banks, and on Friday the government will report monthly payroll data, one of the economic indicators most closely watched by investors.

Early Tuesday, the Dow was down 12.35, or 0.2 percent, to 8,414.39. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 4.31, or 0.5 percent, to 902.93, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 16.16, or 0.9 percent, to 1,747.40.

Yesterday’s Top Performing SmallCapVoice.com stocks:

Lifespan, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LSPN) was a SmallCapVoice.com top performer moving up over 37% on trading volume of 1,022,000 shares.

Lifespan will commence the marketing of the Medical ScreenPhone, its internet access telephony product, to the 14 trillion dollar US healthcare industry as a medical verification, authorization and billing solution as well as a home care communications tool. Lifespan anticipates that the medical marketplace introduction will be rapidly followed by deployment into the hospitality, banking/finance, security and other telecom markets.

Lifespan CEO, Mr. Ken Berscht stated, “Increased efficiencies are sorely needed in healthcare. Currently, administrative costs in healthcare exceed $200 billion each year. The Medical ScreenPhone can be easily utilized to significantly improve the efficiency of a small part of the US medical electronic data transfer (EDT) and electronic medical record (EMR) market. But the best part of the use of the Medical ScreenPhone in this industry is that it will ultimately improve the practice and delivery of healthcare to the benefit of doctors and their patients.”
