Markets Open Down
With all eyes on Washington and the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama today, Wall Street is down in opening trading.
In the first 20 minutes of the day, the Dow is down about 85 points, or 1 percent.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are both down more than 1 percent.
In earnings news, Johnson & Johnson fourth-quarter profits rose 14 percent, as the company projects a flat 2009.
