Plus, a pick from Jim Cramer in the tech sector. Jonathan Marino reports from the Nasdaq Marketsite in Times Square.

Markets snap a three-day losing streak to close higher amid relative calm in emerging markets and an improvement in US corporate earnings. Apple stock fell sharply after it disappointed with results yesterday and all eyes are on Facebook earnings after the closing bell on Wednesday. The Fed is seen as unlikely to vary cuts to its bond buying program tomorrow, keeping its focus on ongoing US economic improvement, but volatility is expected to increase this year amid emerging markets uncertainty. TheStreet's Jane Searle speaks to Virtu Financial's Matt Cheslock at the NYSE.

Stocks are kicking it old school as names like DuPont, U.S. Steel and Ford are all moving higher while Apple struggles. Keith Bliss of Cuttone & Co. believes investors are showing their displeasure with the prices for tech stocks but seeing value in the old-guard names. Earnings from these companies haven't been spectacular, but tech stocks can't seem to please their shareholders with record sales, creating a defensive cycle.

Apple reported earnings after the close yesterday and the stock tumbled as investors are starting to think Apple can't repeat the success of the original iPhone. Belpointe Chief Strategist David Nelson tells TheStreet's Debra borchardt he doesn't believe Apple stock will have the same incredible run it has had in the past and believes Apple is sitting on obscene amounts of cash that should be put to use.

Apple earnings missed estimates yesterday and shares tumbled after the close. Shares are down over 7% today after the tech giant reported weak iPhone sales and low Q2 guidance. Meanwhile Jim Cramer is buying into shares of Nike ahead of the Super Bowl. And finally Dupont earnings beat estimates and the company reported earnings of 59 cents a share. TheStreet's Jonathan Marino reports from the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square.

The recent selling activity in the market has some investors wondering whether this is the big correction many have been waiting for. Mark Newton, Chief Market Technician for Greywolf Equities, believes the pullback will be short-lived and will probably bottom out next week. However, if the S&P 500 dipped down to 1765, near December lows, that would be the sign of a normal correction. However, Newton doesn't think that will happen.

Caterpillar warned in 2013 that things would get weak and they were right. The company posted profits which topped Wall Street forecasts, but revenue and annual net income dropped significantly. Looking ahead, Caterpillar says its 2014 fiscal year numbers will not be as bad as they initially feared. The industrial giant is getting hurt in the mining equipment side of the business, which is off since the price for metals has dropped. Mining equipment carried the company through the recession but the company is facing some challenges. TheStreet's Debra Borchardt has details from Wall Street.

Stock selling picked up steam by midday on problems in emerging markets. Seaport Securities floor broker Jason Weisberg believes it's a weak excuse and market players are looking for any reason to justify selling. He also noted volume has been light, suggesting there isn't a lot of participation in the selling. Weisberg thinks buyers are just waiting for a lower level before they reenter the market to find better pricing.

If the earnings posted by Washington state companies Microsoft and Starbucks is any indicator of how next weekend's Super Bowl might pan out, Seattle Seahawks fans have reason to cheer. Earnings beats on revenue growth at Microsoft--fueled by Bing search market share rising--and Starbucks' improvement in China are nothing short of a touchdown. Plus, Jim Cramer picks his stock that's done well in China, also. Jonathan Marino at the Nasdaq Marketsite in Times Square, January 24, 2014.

Markets sell off on poor manufacturing data from China as a lackluster earnings season rolls on. Treasury yields jumped in response to the poor result from the world's second largest economy while emerging market stocks dropped and gold rallied. But traders expect the resurfacing of risk-on sentiment to be brief against what has become a stock picker's market. Then are even suggestions the Federal Reserve may raise the level of bond buying when it meets next week - a move that would rattle assumptions the U.S. recovery is on track. TheStreet's Jane Searle reports from the NYSE.

Slowing growth in China sparked fear into nervous portfolio managers, who began selling the market. Once the S&P 500 sold below 1830, selling began to steamroll. Floor Broker Ben Willis of Albert Fried & Co. also noted that a disappointment from McDonalds didn't instill confidence in the market. It seems the main bright spot in stocks today is Netflix, which continued to move higher throughout the day. TheStreet's Debra Borchardt reports from the New York Stock Exchange.

Thursday is a big earnings day, with numbers coming out from Microsoft, Starbucks and McDonald's, to name a few. The tech stocks that reported results yesterday generated a big jolt for markets: Netflix posted a big beat and eBay finds itself fending off an activist investor in Carl Icahn, who's determined to set Paypal free. Plus, a pick from Jim Cramer, who's lacing up on the dips, as we're just 10 days away from the New York City Super Bowl. Jonathan Marino at the Nasdaq Marketsite on January 23, 2014.

Markets closed mixed on Wednesday -- the Dow was dragged down by stocks such as IBM and Caterpillar while the S&P 500 closed slightly higher. While markets have flat-lined since the start of the year there has been noticeable sector rotation into technology and utilities. Earnings have so far been lackluster, providing a damper over any prospect of the strong gains seen in 2013 as investors look to results for justification of higher valuations. All eyes will be on the Fed meeting next week. TheStreet's Jane Searle reports from the NYSE.

The stock market has been stuck in neutral territory, but Mark Newton, Chief Market Technician at Greywolf Equities sees a heartbeat in the materials sector. Alcoa and Dow Chemicals helped to boost prices as they reported earnings even though Newton hasn't seen the same performance on the commodity side. Newton sees the same price action in gold miners, with that group making a turnaround even as gold remains under pressure and has been for some time. TheStreet's Debra Borchardt reports from the NYSE.

IBM reported its quarter and while it beat estimates, there wasn't much else to brag about. The software business was solid, but it wasn't strong enough to offset the weakness in the hardware side. IBM also didn't get any help from China, where business dropped over 20%. The tech giant warned the first quarter of 2014 will be pretty low historically, while the second quarter should be better. IBM also said it will divest more businesses and rebalance the workforce, which is code for layoffs. TheStreet's Debra Borchardt reports from Wall Street.
