MINYANVILLE ORIGINALThe Nasdaq Composite Index (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) rose 1.42% to 3,137.51 as of 2:45 p.m. EDT as encouraging jobs data and Chinese stimulus plans drove stocks into the green across the board.
Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) rose 3.00% to $2.58 after announcing a partnership with Nissan Motors. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was on the rise after a losing streak, jumping 2.16% to $679.50 despite concerns about its iPhone 5 supply.
