Spencer Platt
NEW YORK - JULY 31: Traders take an afternoon break from the trading floor outside of the New York Stock Exchange on July 31, 2009 in New York City. Extending the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s best monthly gain since 2002, U.S. stocks rose on Friday. The release of a better-than-expected gross domestic product helped drive speculation that the economy is recovering from the recession. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
