Trading was very light on Wall Street due to the Veteran's Day holiday Wall Street ended close to were it started after flip-flopping most of the session.

Shares of Jefferies jumped 14 percent, but Leucadia are down on concerns Jefferies growth strategy is too aggressive. In another deal, aircraft component maker Precision Castparts wants to buy Titanium Metals for $2.9 billion. Both stocks took flight on word of the deal.

Staying with corporate headlines: the recovery continues for the real estate market. D.R. Horton beat profit forecasts thanks to a 21 percent jump in net sales.
